Party time

Last night the neighbors had a backyard party. Their backyard is next to ours, and my bedroom window opens out toward their backyard. When I went to bed at 10:00 PM, it was going strong. At 2:00 AM there were still some people talking and laughing. Although I occasionally will be up late having fun, those days are pretty much over for me. I’m more an “Early to bed and, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Well, I’m healthy, so 1 out of 3 ain’t bad.

Of course, when I was younger I stayed up late all the time. I remember days in the dorm in college when we’d watch whatever movie was shown on TV late at night on the weekend- a bunch of us saw Zulu and saw the sunrise – I think that Brian was the original viewer, then me, then I think Casey came home, and then a couple of more – just zoning out going “Zu-lu, Zu-lu, Zu-lu.” And there were times that I waited for Eddie to come back from working as a waiter, when he’d make a 2:00 AM meal for whoever happened to be around. He loved hot sauce, which is where I developed my love for them.

But then I grew up and left the late nights behind. Not sure that I miss them too much, and again, occasionally I can become late-night Pat again. It’s a matter of pacing (and a nap in the afternoon, if possible).
