He's not always this bad. I would bet that he's just getting your attention right now. Normally I don't find him that bad, but then again I've always been a morning person. I think he marked me early in life. Besides, there's something to be said for watching the sun rise. It can be an awe-inspiring sight.
I got your email and should reply after I let it percolate (and have some caffeine). So, it'll be later today. Want me to move it to LJ so we can work on it during the day?

But even more fun, wait until you get more than one personal patron. Thankfully mine tend to compliment and augment each other. If they didn't, I'd probably be a basket case. Also, they are ok with the fact that I don't have a lot of time to devote to personal spirituality at the moment. I sense a waiting for me to go on hiatus so that I can get more up close and personal. That'll be fun, I think.
