Just Woke Up

Monday Night Musings and a Mountain Hike

Waking up on the floor is not your typical morning, but hey, when Monday Night Football is on, all bets are off. Picture this: a chilly December 28, 2004 morning, with echoes of game cheers still bouncing around. I’m there, sprawled out, having succumbed to sleep’s embrace right in the middle of the excitement.

To fend off the night’s restlessness, I reach for my trusty player, loading up the latest from Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” series. Audio books are my nightly escape; they keep my mind from wandering back to the intricate web of projects waiting for me at work. Speaking of which, I adore my job! It’s a blend of taxing challenges and exhilarating breakthroughs, especially when I’m crafting tax relief software.

But yesterday was different. Dipping my toes into something new, I updated a couple of pages for MARS STOUT Inc.’s website – a refreshing change from my usual routine. I tweaked the main page and added some vital virus info. It’s always invigorating to switch gears and tackle public web content.

The highlight of my day? A dusk hike with Marcy in the serene Rattlesnake Wilderness Area. Sure, bringing my dog along during winter isn’t exactly by the book, but we avoided the main trails and embarked on an adventurous ascent straight up the mountain from the parking lot. The view, the crisp air, the thrill – it was all worth it. I’m excited to share this hike with you, along with some long-overdue pictures.

For now, though, it’s time to surrender to sleep’s call once more. Stay tuned for more updates, and good night to the world from my little corner of it.
