5:40 am.  Hmmm, I wonder why my alarm didn't go off.  Oh, well time to
get up.

6 am the boat is on the car and it's off to the lake.

As I push off I notice that there are lots of little circular wave
patterns.  I don't see or feel any rain, so I stop a bit to see if
it's fish.  It's not fish, it's a very light rain.

I paddle out of the cove into the main part of the lake, the sun is
coming up over the trees and everything has that nice sunrise/sunset
coloring.  I happen to glance to the west and notice a rainbow.

It's not often that I get to paddle with a rainbow so I decided to
cross the lake to get a better view.  When I get to the other side
of the lake I discovered it was actually a double rainbow.  Now
this is how to start the day.  It's just me and the birds out on
the lake hanging out watching the rainbow.

By 6:30 the rainbow had faded.  7 am, back to the car, then home to
pickup the kids, take them at school, and then head for the office.

Not a bad way to start a workday.

Kirk, ENOUGH is ENOUGH!  You just need to keep that sort of post to
yourself!  Geeeze, man, you'll make the rest of us so jealous we end up
unsubscribing to P'Wise!
