Bubba's Beach
Sleep and early ups

I hate mornings. I have never been an early riser. Don't like it, never will. However, I have to do something about this problem because as of September 4, 'Lishous and Old Bubba have a morning radio show that begins at 5 a.m. and ends at 9 a.m. on 1620 AM radio.

Now folks, 5 a.m. is early for me. I didn't even know there were two 5 o'clocks until I contracted for this radio show! I'm not sure I can do it, but it seems like fun doing an all talk radio show about our beloved Redneck Riviera.

When I was in my 20's I got a job once that required me to be on site at 6 a.m. I just could not make it; every morning I was late. My boss, a kind man who wanted to see me keep thejob, gave me a prescription for a pill that I was to take before I went to bed. I slept really well and got up early the next morning and was one hour erly for work, rested and ready to go. When my boss got there, I said, "Man, that pill actually worked!" He looked at me and said, "That's all fine, but where were you yesterday?"

It's not that I stay up late; I just like to sleep. I love to sleep, really. I look forward to sleeping every day. I dream about sleeping. Our bedroom is the coolest room in the house. I reaarranged the ceiling fan so I could have it blow directly on me while I sleep. I have good things that I can prop myself up with, lay down flat, sleep sideways, and even upright if that is my mood. I think old Rolex, my dog, has it down right. Rolex sleeps about 18 hours a day. I can only get about 14 in and then 'Lishous begins to throw things at me and shoot me with her water pistol.

I'm not lazy. I get my work done, always have. As a matter of fact, I have worked hard most of my life. I just discovered how to get more work done in less time and then I can sleep. If there is anything to reincarnation, I want to come back as a bear. That six months of sleeping sounds great to me.

So, enjoy your sleep and get up when you want to. If you don't have this in your life, you ain't never gonne be really happy. You can't be Happy and Grumpy at the same time. That didn't work for the seven dwarfs and it won't work for you!
