John Y’s Musings from the Middle: The Mysterious Adventures of Morning People

I will never personally explore outer space or the mysteries of the ocean depths.

But after becoming a “morning person” in middle age I have discovered an exciting new world that I never knew existed between about 530am- 8am each morning. It doesn’t involve identifying new stars or planets or observing a new underwater species or rare coral growth. Bu…t there are some real characters, fascinating behaviors, impressive routines and surprising activities that I never knew about that exist in this mysterious “early morning” world.

And you don’t need a spaceship or bathyscape to travel there. Just a functional alarm clock that doesn’t have a snooze button.

And astonaut helmets and swimming goggles are optional.
