The day before tomorrow.

~ yes, indeed, every day is a TODAY show!

Expectations - the kind we have every night when we hit the pillow - of how our day will begin is a collage of ‘reasonably expected and nearly certain’ things. The sun will rise, and so will we, the news of the day will be unique but mostly things that are routine, expected and bring few surprises. So, turning on a radio, an app, text feeds or opening email inboxes provides information with details of where the weather is bad, which country had a natural disaster or selected a beauty queen, which athletic team won whichever trophy, and which celebrity fell from grace. Easy-peasey, with much information and few major surprises. Financial markets, sports scores, cultural events, movie reviews, birth and death announcements - that’s where we get it all.

But, if we don’t turn on a device, flip a light switch or start a coffee maker - does that mean the world is still asleep as we just were, missing out on everything?
