Drabble by Kevin Fagan for December 15, 2020

Defective body clock.

I hate it when I finally get tired enough to go to bed, and it’s 7:45 in the morning….

Remember back in the 1970’s when Norelco razors were advertised as Noelco during the holiday season?

I go to bed about 8pm….but I am up at 4:30-5am (reading the comics, of course).

You too, Ralph?

Well, Ralph, you’re still on the other time clock, so it’s really 8:45, and you CAN go to bed. . .

Amen

When it’s dark….

At 7:45, I’ve been up for more than three hours.

For decades I explained my early bedtimes by saying, “On my home planet days are only 22 hours.” Turns out there is a mutation that makes your body clock run on 22 hours days! Don’t know if I have it, I may just have early morning disease.

I go to be around then too, but I don’t sleep right away. That’s my TV watching time. Bedtime is usually 10 ish.

I do, right after I’ve fed the pets.

The time between sundown and bedtime increases until the Dec 21st. Then the days start getting longer. Pitchers and catchers report in Feb; BB season starts in March; and warmer days….Yehh!

In the tropics, such as the Caribbean, day and night are close to the same length all year around.

Is that am or pm?…..

Are you kidding, Ralph? I think that would be awesome! There is a good chance I would wake up before noon if I could go to bed that. early!
