I get up between 5:30 and 6:00 (lately 6:00-6:15). Take a leak. Go downstairs and let the dog out so he can take a leak. Start coffee. Let the dog back in, along with the cat. Fix the cat's breakfast, give him an insulin shot and put him back outside to eat. Sit down with a cup of coffee, check email and late night BOTL posts while I watch the news. 'Nother cup of coffee. Shower, shave, s***, get dressed. Feed the parrot. Put laptop in briefcase. Put coffee in thermos and travel mug. Walk the dog. Out of the house between 7:30-7:40 to be at work at 8:00.

I'm up by 6:40ish and have a cup of coffee, (the strong part of the still brewing pot) 6:50 in the shower, 6:59 getting dressed, 7:03 getting baby ready, 7:06 putting on shoes (me and daughter) 7:08 slam 2 cups of coffee, 7:10 brush teeth 7:13-7:15 leave. 7:20 babysitter, 7:22 work.

It's a fine line between finesse and luck.

Up at 7AM, coffee is brewing in auto system, shower shave, dress, let the dog out, get and read the local paper, make omlettes for wife and I. Let dog in. Read Wall Street Journal. More coffee. Wander off towards work at 8:30. Maybe a cigar, depending on whether the sun is shinning on the ocean or not.

Up at 6 am and lie in bed for about 5 minutes to listen to whatever song is on the radio to wake me up. Get out of bed, gather clothes for the day and perform my trifecta of hygiene (shit, shower, shave). Look at the clock to see if I have time to make breakfast, normally not. Leave for work. Sit in the car for 40 minutes and battle traffic. Once I get to work - normally a half hour early - I check email, web comics, forums, make some yerba mate, and then prepare the office.
