               The 1812 Overture, on 11, as sung by squirrels.

I am not a morning person. I also tend to be a rather heavy sleeper. Mix
these two things together and you have one person that is hard to wake up at
times.

Lord knows my Dad has tried. He's tried John Phillips Sousa. [1] He's tried
Richard Wagner. [2] He's even tried the 1812 Overture [3] at eleven [4] and
that still failed to wake me up (what did work, however, was the Frozen Wash
Cloth to the Face Method, and the Dump Me in Snow Method but those are not as
effective as they were since he now lives in Palm Springs, California [5]).

Spring [6] found this out as she was trying to wake me up. She found some
rather unconventional music [7] in an attempt to wake me up. She finally
shook me awake and I found the rather unconventional music [8] more amusing
than annoying or loud (give it a listen—the squirrel could use some money).

There is one type of music that I find so truely annoying that it would wake
me up rather quickly, but of course I'm not going to mention what that is.
