6am, Dog-Tired Logic

The shows in Washington went absolutely great! However, with the time changes and getting up late and waking early, we are beat. Yesterday, we woke up at 4:20am in order to get on a plane, fly home, and drive two hours to Paducah, KY to see a David Copperfield show. The show was excellent as usual. I'm sure Brock will blog about it sometime. We got in well after 1am. It was a long day.

I feel like the most tired I've ever been (but it can't be true, because I've had clinical exhaustion before...it just feels like the tiredest I've ever been). Anyway, last night in the wee hours of the morning, I awaken to a high pitch beeping noise. I stumble around in the dark trying to find its source. Finally, I see the smoke detector in our room flashing. I take out the battery and go back to bed. A few seconds later, I hear that same noise. How can it still make a beep without a battery? I still want to know the answer to that question! So, I use my 6am, dog-tired logic and guess what I do? I go into the very next room, open up the back door, and chunk the smoke detector as hard as I can into the backyard. I haven't given it another thought until just now. Brock's still not awake yet. I guess I'll let him use his rested morning logic to deal with it later.
