Does anything good happen after 2am?

Writing prompts - they're everywhere. I was lying here on my futon wanting to write something, but not something about my day, though it happened to have been a very interesting day. The TV was on for background - as usual. Suddenly a voice said, 'Nothing good happens after 2 am.' Another character on the same show began to argue that 'everything' good happens after 2am.

This got me to me thinking about life after 2am.

Most of us fear the late night call. We think the worst; illness, accident or death. Then again it could be a brand new healthy baby. The little critters do like to show up at odd hours don't they? By the way if darling daughter is reading - thanks for showing up at 9:26 pm ;-)

Some of the best movies come on after 2am, especially those awesome moldy oldie horror films. Some of my favs; 'The Tingler' 'The Last Man on Earth' and 'The Fly' - all with Vincent Price - the ultimate after 2am film star.

Anyone whose ever stayed/lived in New York City knows that walking and talking along the streets with friends during the wee hours is a natural high.

Just about every web address/blog I own was 'born' after 2am. GoDaddy.com owner Bob Parsons KNOWS that a lot of good things happen late at night, hence the 24-7 customer service.

Blast from the Past: The Late Show with Tom Snyder. During the 70's the Late Show was on really late. Good old turtleneck wearing, chain smoking Tom laughing at his own jokes. People really talked on that show.

Okay, I've had my say. Would love to hear what your take on the question.

Til next time.
