intimacy


the sportsman says that when meeting a new person you should ask what the person does the first hour they're awake. knowing about the person's first hour is knowing the person.


my first hour during the week is generally the same. i wake, grab coffee, let the cat out, sit with lisa if she's awake, shower (and if she wasn't awake before the shower, sit with her after), walk downstairs to put on clothes i set out the night before, grab my work stuff, kiss lisa goodbye, and drive to work, where i open doors, turn on lights, and make coffee for everyone. that's my hour. what does it say about me?

it says that you accomplish too much in an hour. back off man, you make the rest of us look bad.

it says that you are a self-preservationist...your coffee and pre-planned wardrobe say that you must take care of yourself before you can tend to others...kind of like in the airplane where they ask the moms to not be a hero and put the mask on themselves first...so, you are good at not being a hero. you are also pretty nice...you love your wife and even your crazy co-workers...
