Yeah I always check email first thing in the morning, right after I
stagger out of bed; and last thing at night. But now I have a good reason
because Irina's been sending me 3 emails a day; the one I get from her
when I get up is the one she sends right after work that day. But I
don't know how you guys can get up so early and stay up so late too.
I might as well be dead with less than 8 hours sleep. But as soon as
I wake up the first time and start thinking "oh, I bet I have an email
from Ira" I can't sleep after that, I gotta get up and go read it.
But soon I will set up a terminal in the bedroom, so then maybe I can
read it without getting up. What a life... everybody should have as
much fun and be as happy as I am now.
This piece of news has been about the best all year, I think:

"...he also slammed early rising -- getting up too soon leaves people
stressed for the whole the day, he said."
