There are a few things in life that I’m really bad at: eating food with weird textures, mailing things in a timely manner, making major decisions without the help of a pro-con list, and waking up in the morning. (All right, there are more than a few things, but let’s start with those.) So what compels me to wake up at 2:15 a.m. and head to Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver to stand in the audience of the Today show is a bit of a mystery. Because the show airs live on the East Coast, it begins at 4 a.m. here in Pacific time, with tickets handed out at 3:30 a.m. My mom isn’t exactly thrilled with the idea: In her words, “it would be easier to fly to New York and stand in the audience there.” I disagree (and have been in the New York audience before, anyway), so off we’ll go.

It’s after midnight as I type this, so I’m looking at a solid, um, hours and 45 minutes of sleep. If you happen to be watching the show Monday morning, look for me in the crowd — I’ll look something like the picture at the right, just with a lot more layers.
