Rise and Shine

As a softball graduate assistant, Clare gets to wake up at 5 AM three days a week to supervise 90 minutes of lifting, 6-7:30; so, right now, that means going out in the dark and the cold.  My daughter is not what you would call a morning person.  In fact, when the light’s right (which it hardly ever is at 5 AM), her profile shows a little T Rex, and I don’t mean the ’70s band.  That the girl can keep her raptor tendencies in check is a true testament to character.  Some athletic department is going to do well by my child, provided they don’t start the workday at 5 AM.  Even the most disciplined T Rex has limits.
