It seems as if is much harder to accomplish anything after we revert back to normal time (from daylight savings time). I am sure it is mostly due to the damably short number of hours of daylight we have from November through March here in the Northern Midwest. I get up usually when it is dark, and arrive home from work when it is dark, and often will not see much in the way of natural light. I am not sure if forcing myself to spend lunch outside (even if it is very cold) would help me get enough natural light or not, but I am considering trying it to see.

Right now, I can already see my briar indulgences increasing like they seem to at this time every year. It seems the rich nourishment I obtain from my pipe is even more helpful in having me become alert in the morning than it is in the Summer months.

I need to think more about this as I get ready to spend the weekend at deer camp.
