Some people enjoy sleeping in on summer weekend mornings.

Other people (aka my Dad) enjoy waking up those of us who like to sleep in, so we can then wake up the fish who are also still sleeping… because the sun isn’t even awake yet.

That guy is a dedicated fisherman… always early to rise. But I’m glad he’s my fisherman… because once I gain consciousness, it is pretty neat to slow down and watch the sun rise peacefully, before the rest of the world gets itself in a big, unnecessary hurry.

Thanks for making sure we don’t miss these precious moments of summer, Dad.
