PE 12/19 Hiking Camelback Mountain

How can you be such an early riser? Anyway, we're going to freeze our butts off up there.
* early riser: someone who is frequently awake before sunrise, = early bird
ex> I had a newspaper delivery route as a kid, which is why I'm still an early riser in my 30s.

Camelback Mountain is only a 407-meter rise in elevation from the base to the top, so there's no drastic change in temperature.
* drastic: extreme; sudden
ex> The politician's drastic change in opinion made me not trust his motives.

Milk and brown sugar, just the way you like it. I know you like the back of my hand.
* know ~ like the back of one's hand: to be very familiar with something or someone
= know inside out; know very well; know backwards and forwards
ex> I think I could drive home with my eyes closed because I know this route like the back of my hand.

This dry desert air in the morning is just what the doctor ordered. And this full moon is lighting up the trail as though it were a cloudy afternoon.
* just what the doctor ordered: the right thing at the right time; a remedy for an ailment or fatigue
ex> Great steak and a fine wine. Just what the doctor ordered!

You're such a ham. Okay, move a little more to the right, but not too far.
* a person who enjoys performing and receiving attention
ex> Most successful performers start out as children who are hams when anyone is watching.
