   I think it’s more accurate that everyone strikes a balance “between safe and measuring up to some shifting, wobbly, judgemental standard of ‘looking cool’”.

   I fully appreciate the sentiment, but I recall TV news being an overview at noon, a half-hour at supper, and an hour before bed (just for restful sleeps). If you were listening to the radio, a headline overview every hour. Still pretty wide open and pleasant compared to today’s 24 hour “news”.

   Not for much longer. At the beginning of this month, I stayed in a Hilton. The key card had a little warning: “I’m being phased out!

I just thrust a screaming toddler into their arms and walked out before I hit someone.

   A) Mostly it’s retribution because “non-morning people” are usually night owls that give me all kinds of grief for going to bed before midnight. B) Inert lumps of flesh staring at a coffee maker really aren’t all that dangerous or scary.

    My wife loves to sing as well, and has a lovely voice. It’s great.The downside is she occasionally sings country songs with lyrics about trailer trash miserable marriages. It took a while for her to reassure me the lyrics had nothing to do with her actual state of mind on our marriage.
