even though i stayed up until 12:45 in the morning, here i am awake at my regular just-before-dawn timeslot with just a hint of a headache probably from the minor sleep deficit. will i stay up or go back to bed? unknown. my wife is on her way back from connecticut, where she and her parents rang in the new year in a casino. casinos make me nauseous with their noises and lights (and the faint pee smell), so that definitely was out of the question for me. but here i am, 2009, bring it on.
