Unfortunately, I don't go to bed much earlier. I would like to, but I am so accusomed to going to bed in the middle of the night. I love the night. It's quiet and dark and most people are asleep. It's a magical time of the day for me and I have always loved it.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I have to get up quite a bit earlier than I am used to. And, so far, I go right back to bed immediately after ringing the bell. However, I do have a hope and a plan for staying up eventually. When the clocks go forward in the Spring I will already be used to getting up even earlier than now. So I plan to take advantage of that extra late one hour to jump start an early morning life. hm...<BR/><BR/>I am not a morning person. Before this project, most of the sunrises I witnessed were because I had been up all night. Usually, I was leaving some recording studio and walking home. I had always thought about how beautiful and clean and quiet it was at that hour. However, that appreciation alone was never enough for me to actually wake up and go out.<BR/><BR/>I will post my resonse to your other questions on the blog. Your timing is perfect as I have been thinking about what's going on with the "life with the bell" for a while. It's an ongoing consideration.Brenda Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220834846515832558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052639981082084214.post-1945228946034212412008-01-14T13:04:00.000-08:002008-01-14T13:04:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brenda Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220834846515832558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052639981082084214.post-60526552781354783322008-01-14T11:23:00.000-08:002008-01-14T11:23:00.000-08:00Hi KC-It's good to hear from you and to think abou...Hi KC-<BR/>It's good to hear from you and to think about how pretty those smoggy sunsets can be.

My daughter Claire and I want to know more about your life with the bell.

I found an old copper cow bell--possibly from Frank--and rang it at sunset, which was all pink and orange from the smog and smoke here in Santa Monica... I'll take it to the beach tomorrow...no sunrise commitment, though: too early. Thank you, Brenda, for noticing, and reminding us to notice...KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470514010863312339noreply@blogger.com
