Oooh, this should be fun. I'm up about 5:00 AM. By about 6:00 AM I am in front of the computer so I can put on my shoes (which is where I have usually left them). No use sitting here and not checking Mudcat (before my e-mail). Just a quick browse of thread subjects, but if something looks really interesting I'll dive in and if I feel there is something important for me to say I may post (been late once or twice to work in the last year because of this).

When I get to work at 7:30 AM I may browse through again as I get my computer up to speed. No postings then, just browsing subject titles. I may check the 'Cat two or three times during work if I'm not too busy and may read a thread or two or post if its something quick.

Every day (read "every day", no exceptions for hurricanes, midnight arrivals, or family crises) that I come home I check the 'Cat. Usually I read whatever interests me in the slightest. I seldom read every thread, although a year ago I found that fairly easy to do (how many more posts per day this year, Max?).

On weekends or holidays, I check the 'Cat first thing in the AM (well, after getting down stairs, so I do do some other things first). Good thing I don't like coffee or I might have a conflict of addictions at this time of day. I might drop by the computer two or three times and certainly I usually drop by the Forum before I go to bed.

I need only to look at my cluttered house and realize I used to spend some of this time doing housekeeping. But jeez, this is more fun than housekeeping.
