Off-Peak Living

I really like the idea of ”Off-Peak Living“. I keep trying to get up before 9 AM, and to not stay up until 5 AM, but I’m slowly realizing that I enjoy having this behemoth of a city all to myself. There’s no traffic problems at 3 AM. The restaurants (that are open) aren’t crowded. I do a lot of work (or play) in the wee hours that I’d otherwise never get done in normal daytime hours. If I need to run errands, I can go after noon, when nobody’s around.
