Some really nice links in there. Especially the night owl posts reminds me of myself. Even as a child I wasn’t a morning person and only due to the problem that the rest of the world thinks getting up early is great I manage to get up at like 9 o’clock 🙂 Appears I might have a higher IQ than all those early birds.
Hear, hear! Always been a night owl, even though since we moved to Canada I get up at 5am to accommodate our European clients. Wonder how long this will last…
Thanks for stopping by Alexander!
