in which I discover latitude

When one is reading an article in the New York Times on seasonal affective disorder, and playing the matching game one plays with horoscopes ("Ten hours of sleep a night? Fondness for carbohydrates? Overuse of the verb 'to hibernate'? Why yes, that DOES sound like me!"), and pauses to think that one would not be terribly harmed by shifting one's alarm earlier to coincide with winter sunrise, and might even derive salutary effects, it is rather depressing to realize that this would constitute an official shift of approximately fifteen minutes.

Coffee! Cheap, legal, stimulant of choice, does not leave unsightly track marks! I figured that's why there are so many caffeine hounds up this way, it's so we can stay awake through the winter and spring.

I moved to the Pacific Northwest at 11 and started drinking coffee a year later. But that just makes me a good approximation of a really spacey human!
