Sometimes I think I’m a sick person because there’s nothing that delights me more than change. It’s amazing what a little jolt to the routine can do.

We had a meeting in Milwaukee today to discuss procedures, and the cool thing is that we found several fairly large holes in the system. We’ve fixed them, and I got to put the new procedures into practice immediately. I couldn’t believe how jazzed up I felt. It didn’t take much to energize me.

I just wish I was a bit more of a morning person. The drive into Milwaukee is always somewhat hazardous, because just keeping my eyes open takes a tremendous effort. I usually end up closing one eye for a few minutes, then the other. Yes, I alternate eyes. Is that dangerous?
