AUSTIN, Texas, October 13, 2005 — I was up about four this morning. I'll soon be back to struggling up at seven or eight.

I started on my thank you notes. Then FFP (who was also up wandering) and I both went back to bed. Then I got up again and ate a bunch. I'm never hungry in the morning except when I have this particular form of jet lag.

I played tennis with the "older ladies." My age plus fifteen or twenty years.

I did a little workout after. Rode the exercise bike twenty minutes and did some ab and lower back exercises.

I didn't get much accomplished today. Still recovering, I guess.
