So This Is What A.M. Means

I decided that as part of the plan to start playing basketball on Monday mornings, and even though I'm not actually going to start playing this week, I'd get up at 5 a.m. to start getting my body ready for that time of day.

"That time of day" means inky blackness outside, with no sound of birds twittering, or the bustle of cars in the street, or even the hum of next door condo neighbor's plumbing as part of their showers. It's the dewy, cool feel of the air that has yet to be penetrated by sunlight, the chirping of crickets, the stars...

The STARS?

Today, to me, a.m. stands for "almost morning."
