Just like every other day where I had crossed paths with Jill, this was going to be another day of playing cat and mouse with one another. This morning I was up before Jill, doing my best to keep quiet so she could sleep in. It was, as per my usual routine, well before the break of dawn, and there was no way I was going to wake up others who weren't as crazy as me. I made a brief stop at a Circle-K konbini for breakfast and a hot cup of coffee, and was back on the road just after sunrise.
