The Benefits of Jetlag

Being home has been great so far.  I've gotten to spend time with Sam, with my cat Rocky, and catch up with some friends. All helped out at least in part by Jetlag.  I never would have believed it would be so useful, but the ability to wake up at 6:30 in spite of not setting an alarm and irrespective of whether or not I got enough sleep the night before has come in handy.

Here's just a quick summary of the perks:
1. Wednesday: 12 mile bike ride with my Mom and 1.2 mile ocean swim, all before noon.  Also, I got to try out my new bathing suit, a Jammer bought in Palermo, Italy.
2. Thursday: School with Sam.
3. Friday: 46 mile bike ride with friends.

All in all, not to shabby for a week that I thought I'd be having to sleep through a lot of.  However, at this point it might not hurt to get some extra sleep.

Also, here is a quote that I have always tried to live by but that I had not heard until recently:

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow.  Learn as if you were to live forever."
-Mahatma Ghandi
