Come discuss things with me on my run down bench

This should be my all time record for earliest post on mindsay.  I don't know if that is good or bad, as it isn't even all that early; it is 7:33 am.  Yeah I got up at 6 in the morning to watch Dice-K and the Sox against the Oakland A's in Japan, and it really isn't paying off so far, as the whole team is looking like it is still spring training.  But I did have Dice-K on my rotisserie baseball team, so I did what any loyal owner should do.  Unfortunately, the first two innings he pitches were downright painful to watch, but thankfully he has settled down now after 4.

It will be interesting to see if my posts are any more or less incoherent in the mornings.  I am not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination, although I do think it would be more productive if I made more of an attempt to be one.  I sleep so terribly that I just don't get a good rest at night, so I see this as not happening any time soon.  It takes me a good 35-40 minutes to shake the cobwebs in the morning, while some would argue I don't shake them at all.  There is a professor at the University of California that has been trying to almost manufacture his mood by altering his activities and trying to find an optimal routine to boost his morale.  This is an interesting concept.  I know that he found he is happier if he watches an hour of television in the morning, and none before bed.  I wonder what my optimal schedule would be. 

Does the name Jack Cust sound dirty to you?  Yeah, me too.
