Oh, funny John. Yes, most guys do like to do that upon rising, but when in Hawai'i, here is what I like to do.
When there, I am on "California time" and so I am usually awake before dawn. I try and sleep until about half an hour before sunrise. Then I put some spoonsful of Kona coffee in the coffemaker. I lay on the floor and do some mild stretching exercises. I fling open the French doors and I await the sunrise, coffee in hand. It is different every single day. Sometimes it is subdued, hidden behind a distant bank of clouds. Sometimes it is brilliant, as only a tropical sun can be. No matter what the sun is "wearing" that day, I am always glad to see it, and regard each viewing as a privilege.
