I'm not quite a morning person. I try to get up early, but I'm a little dazed. Getting to work, too, can be a little disorienting. Traffic, other people, and Radiohead blaring in my ears made me a little scattered this morning.

Sometimes people say things to me, and I have a reflexive response. No thought, just words flowing from me. I fear I may have insulted my oatmeal guy this morning.

Oatmeal Guy: Ugly day out there!
Me: Yea -- you too.

It happened in a split second. I thought he said, "have a good day out there."

Oh well.
