Sunshine

I've been thinking of John Denver's song about sunshine a lot lately.  It seems to me it needed some tweaking and since I am, as some of you know, the next Weird Al, I've been tinkering with it to reflect the Alaskan experience.

"Sunshine in the morning makes me happy,

Sunshine at noontime makes me smile,

Sunshine in the evening is so lovely,

Sunshine at midnight makes me want to cry"

Okay, so the sun isn't still up at midnight.  It's setting at 10:30 right now, but it's still pretty light outside well into the night.  It's got our whole sleep cycle thrown off balance.  We are generally pretty much early birds rather than night owls so we usually go to bed at 9:00 (and I am not admitting to how many times I've gone to bed earlier than that).  With the sun being up so much longer than we're used to, we're going to bed at 11:00 or midnight and then sleeping late into the morning.  I'm sure in a few months I'll be missing the sun and attempting to make magic sunshines, but for now I'd just like my sleep schedule to go back to normal.
