This is why I didn't want to get out of bed this morning...
Clock Radio goes off at 5 AM.
You are listening to Clear Channel's WALK-FM.It's 50 degrees, rainy and gusty.
Here's Johnny Mathis.
[Johnny Mathis starts singing Christmas music]
I tapped snooze. WALK is the lamest "lite hits" station in the world. But since I snapped the antenna off my ancient clock radio, it's the only station that comes in clearly. And I need to wake up to the radio - for some reason, static or the alarm setting won't wake me up.
And, of course, Murphy's Law kicked in as soon as I got dressed for work. I left my rainjacket somewhere and couldn't find it, so I'm wearing a leather bomber jacket that's too small for me. As soon as I arrive at the train station, I exit my car and a wind gust turns my umbrella inside out, knocks my coffee out of my hand and sends my brand-new copy of Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons flying out of my hand and into a puddle.
Not a great start. Hopefully karma will fall back into balance this afternoon.
Hang in there, bubba. Baseball season starts in 12 weeks.

Whatever your choice, prepare to receive that which gives you those possibilities when you "rise and shine".
