5:30 a.m. Friday - My alarm goes off and I realize it's way too early to be up, so I hit snooze, a few times actually.

6 a.m. - I am dead asleep and I wake to the sound of barking. My head was still a little fuzzy, but I knew there was something not quite right about it. Certainly it's not a surprise to hear barking around this neighborhood, but it wasn't until I heard more barking in the distance that I realized what was going on.

6:01 a.m. - I roll out of bed and peer out my window, and low and behold, there is a man from one of our teams standing on the back step (20 feet from my bedroom window) barking like a dog over and over and over again. Who does that?

6:02 a.m. - As quickly as it started it stops when he has several dogs in the neighborhood barking back. He laughs and goes back into the house leaving me lying in bed staring at the ceiling wondering what in the world just happened. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up!
