Each weekend in the winter arrives with the possibilty (probabilty) of early morning practice from one or both of my (hockey-playing [thanks Mike!]) descendants. It’s exceedingly tough to get up at 5:30 or 6 but there is a bright side…
The days seem to last forever — which isn’t bad on the weekend when you’re a firm believer of sleep being overrated.

Not to nitpick, but don’t you have 3 descendants?
I think this would be a good thing as long as practice-r stayed cheery until bedtime. Mine wouldn’t, maybe you are luckier.
