Silence in the morning…

I have one of hose alarm clocks that has the dual alarms. One time is set to when I work out and the other is set to when I actually get up. this alarm clock also has q CD player.

Like a lot of things involving kids that are 4, a Little Einstein's lullaby classic somehow made its way into the apparatus. Of course it has not been changed since it made its debut about 9-10 months ago.

if you have ever listened to a LE music program or watched a video you know it is a little (lot) reliant on the xylophone. whomever they hired to make this music is to the xylophone as John Bonham was to drums, but too over the top even for Led Zeppelin's taste.

Every morning that I do not wake up 5 minutes before the alarm, I am serenaded by this light and upbeat music and I cringe. But, for the life of me, I can't bring myself to change it. no great revelation, just thinking about it in the shower this morning. it is funny how sounds become hard wired to your system. ever hear your cell phone ringtone out in
public on someone else's phone? Does it cause any panic until you realize it is not you? Pavlovian.
