I think it's going to be a beautiful sunrise this morning. I'm out here. I've got early daylight,

and what I mean by early daylight is the sky is no longer dark.

It is starting to brighten up and as I look to the east it is brighter obviously than to the west.

In fact to the west I've just got a bunch of trees.

Got a bunch of trees to the east too. So the sunrise is going to be through of trees. Got a bunch of trees to the east too.

So the sunrise is going to be through the trees, which is still about 20 minutes away.

So I won't be able to describe.

I won't be able to give you a play-by-play of the colors as they unfold off to the east.

Years ago, Ava handed me a pair of her running shoes, and she said, I'd like you to put screws

on the bottom of these shoes.

Found the screws and thought, well, this will be easy?

It was much harder than I thought.

Have you ever tried putting a screw in the rubber-based sole of a shoe?

It's a little more challenging than I expected it would be.

Because in Maryland the winters can get snowy and they can get icy and they can get slushy.

And my wife is a runner and she wanted to be able to run, even when there was snow and slush and ice on the ground.

Essentially, I was creating for her running snow cleats.

Because my wife, I have observed this up close.

My wife is a no excuses kind of person.

And she's not alone in that.
