Ann Althouse said...: Why, what? Why am I looking at that at 4 in the morning?

1. I woke up (after a full night's sleep).

2. That was the first interesting thing I happened upon in my routine morning encounter with the internet.; 5/13/15, 5:01 AM

Big Mike said...: If I were you I'd start sleeping until 5:00; 5/13/15, 8:34 AM
Ann Althouse said...: I just try to stay asleep until 4.

I wake up, look at the iPhone, and hope it will be at least 4, so I won't have to go through the rigamarole of going back to sleep.

If it's at least somewhat after 3, I attempt the rigamarole but sometimes decide the hell with it and get up.; 5/13/15, 9:10 AM
