2. the snooze button, and pressing it 4 times.
3. waking up to see the rising run's rays wash everything in the living room in a soft glow.
4. tweeting "good morning wednesday".

Sweet would be an understatement. Glad to know some of us are having a luckier time with the morning diaspora to work.

Good morning, Jamie.
