6:02 AM - I turn on the shower. Water is cold at first but soon becomes warm and then finally hot.
6:03 AM - Pull the curtain and step into tub. Pulling the curtain reminds me of how the doctors on ER, a wonderful dramatic television show I've recently discovered, slide the curtains back in the emergency room. I've always wanted to be a doctor. I also wanted to be a pilot but I'm claustrophobic and scared of heights.
6:04 AM - I'm standing under the steaming water and can't help but think that the paramedics on ER don't get enough credit from the doctors. The paramedics are the first responders. If it wasn't for them the precious ER doctors wouldn't even have the opportunity to shine. I guess that's what's troubling me. Everyone should have a chance to shine. Like right now, my thighs are shining.
6:51 AM - I'm still standing under the water and have just finished my internal debate about whether paramedics get enough credit on ER. After much back and forth and many rejoinders I've concluded that ER is not about paramedics but rather emergency room doctors. Spreading the "shine" around is not what the show is about. I am happy with my decision.
6:53 AM - I'm not happy with my decision to go with T/Gel Daily Dandruff shampoo in lieu of Nizoral non-prescription strength. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
6:54 AM - Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
7:08 AM - Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
7:10 AM - Me and my shining body are getting out.
The prodigal son returns to take up the soapy symphony. Let us kill the fatted calf.

It's great to see you back in the lime-crusted light.
