Who needs an alarm clock?

The few weeks before we turn the clocks ahead are brutal on me. You see, my cat is awake at daybreak. This time of year in upstate NY daylight is soon after 5am! The routine is this, the cat wakes up first, he then picks on the dog until he wakes up, and then they both decide its time to wake me up. I try to ignore them but it only works for about 5 minutes. By 8pm each night I am ready for bed. Only another 10 days until we change the clocks ahead one hour and I'll be able to sleep later and once again I'll be able to stay awake for my 9pm TV shows.
