27. I'm a night owl.

Tue Apr 15, 2025, 01:23 AM

Apr 15

I do not function at all in the morning, or even in the early afternoon. My father used to get so mad at me for staying up into the wee hours on school nights. I never could get my parents to admit it, but I've always known I'm descended from vampires. Lucky I got a job that let me work nights, 45 years for a morning newspaper, retired 10 years ago. We put out the next morning's paper in the evening.
