I feel that I "drag" a little more in the morning if I don't get a shower in (of course, I "drag" in the morning anyway).  But, there are definitely times where I'll jump in the shower before bed, planning to sleep a little later in the morning!!  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I may have to try your system.  Maybe all I need is a cool splash in the face in the morning......well, maybe an ice cold splash  :)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks again for stopping by.

A mid to late morning shower sounds great to me most days.  Like you said, just to get my juices flowing again.  Team showering....I bet their are some creative minds out there that could figure a way to get that done.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Bob - Will you not participate in Michelle's team building then? ;)  Seriously, though, nothing beats an early morning shower in solitude!  I do some great thinking (and a little singing) there!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;P.S - You know...I meant to work in a question about showers vs baths in the post, but failed.  Hopefully people will visit the comments and keep the dialogue going!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4756126883326307720/3988525862424083090/comments/default/3613016917668072516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4756126883326307720/3988525862424083090/comments/default/3613016917668072516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leadershipramblings.blogspot.com/2008/01/best-showers-morning-or-night.html?showComment=1199817900000#c3613016917668072516' title=''/><author><name>Eric Peterson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03895071613481689793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12289451647057827168'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://leadershipramblings.blogspot.com/2008/01/best-showers-morning-or-night.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-3988525862424083090' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4756126883326307720/posts/default/3988525862424083090' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-8131381854318596896</id><published>2008-01-08T09:56:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-08T09:56:00.000-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Morning; after my workout.

I like to shower early when I can be alone.  I love that my kids want their Daddy in the morning, but sometimes I can do without the pulling back of the shower curtain.  It is a good time to be with my thoughts.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I usually get in the habit of showering everyday; but you're right about missing one.  When I do I appreciate the next one even more.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'm curious, do most take showers or are there some out there who prefer a bath?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Bob Loch</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4756126883326307720/3988525862424083090/comments/default/8131381854318596896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4756126883326307720/3988525862424083090/comments/default/8131381854318596896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://leadershipramblings.blogspot.com/2008/01/best-showers-morning-or-night.html?showComment=1199807760000#c8131381854318596896' title=''/><author><name>Bob Loch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12021187582867819421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://leadershipramblings.blogspot.com/2008/01/best-showers-morning-or-night.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-3988525862424083090' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4756126883326307720/posts/default/3988525862424083090' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756126883326307720.post-8950047420823183463</id><published>2008-01-08T06:38:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-08T06:38:00.000-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Given only tow choices, I'd choose morning.
