What is that noise?

I very seldom sleep until my alarm goes off in the morning.  Whether you want to blame it on my matress, my back, my small bladder, or just my natural 'early to bed, early to rise' circadian rhythm, I'm just up early.  Usually, I am out of bed with the alarm turned off 20 mintues early.

Thanks to daylight savings time, I actually had the chance to operationally check my alarm clock this morning, and it caused no small amount of panic from my wife.  With it being almost a year since she has heard an alarm clock in the morning, I had to spend a moment or two convincing here it wasn't the smoke detector.  

Hopefully by tomorrow, my body will catch back up to the clock...my alarm is set such that I don't have a lot of 'nothing' time in the morning...I one of those who normally just take care of three 'S's, and heads out the door.  I kind of miss my peak or two of Robin Meade in the morning.
