My alarm clock is a little boy who comes in my dark bedroom when I am fast asleep and says, "It's wake-up time." He does not have a snooze button. So, every morning I’m awake by 6:30 a.m. Mondays, 6:30 a.m.; Saturdays, 6:30 a.m; vacation, 6:30 a.m.It’s probably a fairly average time to wake up during the work week, but that doesn’t mean I like it.
