The problem was that you decided to go to work. You've got to power through those pains and sometimes that takes a while. "Work" should never enter into the equation!

A brilliant plan, I intend to conduct my own research on this topic in the near future. Is there a readily available list of bars that open at 6am? Frequently after a night of drinking, the options @ 6am has been discussed. In Towson the only place we could think of is the Diner.
