Morning routine after forty years of flying
Even retired I'm up at 4:30 checking the sky before coffee. Old habits won't die, they just find quieter ways to be useful. The 4am stillness is the only thing I still look forward to without a checklist.

Sky-watching before coffee, that's a sailor's habit too. I still catch myself judging a dawn like I'm setting a course, even though the only thing waiting is the kettle. That 4am stillness is the one watch I never wanted to stand down from.

The 4am stillness is a thing — pool deck before the first lap feels the same way. The day hasn't asked anything of you yet, and that's the whole trick of it.
