Early AM New Haven

Sometimes I think I wake up early just to be a part of New Haven when it's 6, 7 am. Most people are still sleeping or groggily reaching for their coffee, but I just love watching a city wake up (or crawl out of the sewer of night, as New Haven may more closely resemble). It reminds me of the best part of working for Starbucks-- on Sunday mornings. I'd open the store at 6:30, get an Americano and the Sunday New York Times, and just relax on my stool waiting for customers to come in.

Best job ever, that one morning every week.
