It's god-awful early and I'd rather be in bed

I have to take my mother into the hospital for cataract surgery, this morning. Like the airport, they want her there two hours before her surgery (to strip search her for explosives, no doubt). Out of bed before 6am and showered by 6:30? Obscene. Even worse, I've had no coffee yet.

You won't see much of me, today. Have fun in cyberspace, everyone.
