Very strange... The cat alarm clock took the morning off. When I opened my eyes, it was almost 9 a.m. That hasn't happened since I worked second shift at Ram Printing about ten years ago.

Haven't had a chance to read myself into the day yet. When the coffee is made, I'll spend some time with a book (and probably the goof off cat) and come back downstairs to make breakfast...or brunch...

My internal alarm was set for 30 years at 4:30-5:00. Working at Sears Optical the past four years, it got all the way up to 6 a.m. Lately, what with "retirement" and all, I'm not surprised at 6:30-7:00. NINE is absolutely unbelievable!
