Slept in again til 8, purposely missing the keynote.  First sessions begin at 9:45 (25 minutes from now).  Again, I walked down in a smoke-less haze, got some breakfast and coffee, and sat down at an outside table.

Does everyone wake up so groggy or is it just a symptom of cigarette addiction?

I need to quit.

On the plus side, I have been getting more exercise than usual, what with the constant walking about and the daily laps in the pool.
