Oh this is easy. I have a job. I have to get up at 6 in the morning. When I was 25, I had part time jobs that didn't require an early rise. Now I need health insurance, so I have a full time job and I'm 57, so I get up several times to pee, so I need to factor in the wakefulness that follows, and I need to be in bed by 10 to get enough sleep to do my job.

When we saw the Violent Femmes recently for a 6:30 show, they played Blister in the Sun first thing so we could go relieve the sitter if we had to. Back home by 10. Godbless.

Thank you for this reply -- I have been waiting for it! Yeah, it has nothing to do with not being dead yet. I have to go to work. I have a lot of responsibility and my schedule's not as flexible as others' seem to be (and/or some of these readers are retired). Getting older is not why I'm not out at night. In fact, I expect to be out more once I am really old!

I, too, have to get up early. I, too, have a job. Different strokes for different folks, right? But if you find you want to, there are many cheap or free ways to get out and enjoy an art museum if that's your thing, or an early evening concert, without compromising your bedtime.
