WEBVTT - It's always morning somewhere

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning.

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>tip is that you can do most things at whatever

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>time you wish. Yes, there may be conventions, but if

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>those conventions don't make sense for the most part, it's

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>not a big deal. So there is a coffee shop

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>in New York that has a sign in the window

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>reading it's nine o'clock somewhere. I'm assuming they're playing with

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>the saying it's five o'clock somewhere used to justify enjoying

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>alcohol before the traditional cocktail hour. Well, I'm not sure

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>about the wisdom of having a beer at nine am

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 1>on a random Tuesday. For most of us, there may

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>be some people for whom that's right. When I went

0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>out for breakfast near a ski resort once, I noted

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>a number of gentlemen at the bar, bright and early.

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>It turned out these were the mechanics and trail maintainers

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and such who'd worked on the ski lifts and slopes

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>overnight so they'd be ready at opening time. To them,

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>nine am was the end of their shift, just like

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>five o'clock would be for anyone else if they wanted

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a beer with friends before going home to bed, why not? Likewise,

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>if you want coffee at lunch or early afternoon, go

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>for it. Within reason, You can generally do what you

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.559
<v Speaker 1>want when you want. It doesn't really matter what people

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>say is supposed to happen. When want to decorate for

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Christmas in mid October? Fine, want to put on a

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>fancy dress to go out to eat at a diner?

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Why not? Do you have the perfect gift idea for

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>your mom and don't want to wait till Mother's Day?

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Give it to her now and wish her a happy Monday?

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Want leftover pad tie for breakfast and eggs for lunch?

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Sure white after Labor Day? Does anyone even notice anymore?

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>There are lots of rules for what we are supposed

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to do when, and some of these might be helpful,

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>but some just may not serve you well. If so,

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you can let them go. And honestly, it can sometimes

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>be a little fun to flout time conventions. The beach

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>town I visit each summer puts on a giant Christmas

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>pageant in August. People like Christmas, they like singing Christmas carols,

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and there are certainly more people in the Beachtown in

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>August than in December, so why not. I love eating

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>breakfast for dinner for similar reasons. Now, to be sure,

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>there is no reason to flout convention stupidly. I am

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to have a giant cup of coffee at

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>ten pm unless I am deliberately trying to stay up

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>all night. And since I am not repairing a ski

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>lift as my job, I am generally not. But it

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>is always morning somewhere. If you like your jeans in December,

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>wear them in the meantime. This is Laura. Thanks for listening,
