We all have routines. At some level they're comforting and at the same time can cause stress. This morning I observed mine.

I woke up at 5A (it's usually around 5 - 5:30A), grabbed my phone to see if there any emergencies like a typo in someone's blog. I sauntered (yes saunter) downstairs, selected and ground some beans to make coffee in my french press. At any given time I have 3 or 4 different types of coffee to select from. Today it was Kona coffee from Hawaii, Vera from California and Founders from Brooklyn (I'm a worldy coffee drinking man:).

Then I cracked my computer and sorted through 126 emails (light morning, it's usually around 200) I received overnight. Barring some emergencies, I performed my daily Webmaster duties, removing spam from the listservs, hopefully solving some member issues, and answering technical questions. Oh yea..then I write this blog
