02/02/06 05:40 AM: Fifth Birthday

I have again seized the number one Google result for “Dave Stroup.” That’s good. This blog is over five years old now, though in the world of blogs it has probably died a few times (lack of updates).

In other news, I’ve adopted a new daily routine, which involves getting up at 5:15 AM Tuesday through Thursday. I started off getting up at six, but decided that getting to work by 7 was much nicer because I can leave at 3. Most days I even manage to get to work by 6:30. It’s funny how now when I read about people commuting on the metro at 8:45 AM, I think, aren’t they going to be really late for work? In reality, though, we just start absurdly early here. But it’s for a good cause, you know, protecting the country from the bad guys.

Perhaps I’ll make a morning update a routine, since often I don’t have piles of work to do when I first arrive. We’ll see though. In the world of blogs, I make no promises about future updates.
