1 You're more than welcome. About that *no media before leaving the house* thing? I had no idea you were like that, too. Back in my working days, I couldn't understand anyone who could listen to TV first thing in the morning. To me it was unbearable. I felt invaded and brainwashed and unshielded. It got to where office guys were playing little brinky games with me, since usually I was far more up on news in general than they were. Yet, since I couldn't bear to turn on GMA or the Today Show, etc., they'd know stuff in the AM before I did. I'd only turn on the radio once in the car, and usually for music not news. It only changed after I quit working. Now I can take small bits of certain things earlier, before my 1 1/2 hour *wake-up* time is over. That change started before 9/11 - it's why I had GMA on in the first place. The events of that day, though, solidified it in a way I'd never thought possible.
