    there's a lot of reasons not to, though.

    Momentum. :)

    My morning routine since 1989 or so has been to get up, make a cup of
    coffee, and before the house gets up, logging onto my BBS of choice
    (first it was Just Say Yes, then my own BBS) and having a read of the
    "boards".

    Not for quite so long, but that is *EXACTLY* my routine, also.

    My dog ensures that this happens 7 days a week, too. :-)
