In an effort to better picture what you, my listeners are doing in the mornings, what’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Turn on the coffee maker? Perhaps feed the pet(s)? Venture a glance out the window to see what the night left on the ground?
I’m fairly rigid about my early morning routine. No snooze button. Clock radio is across the room, so I have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. I learned a long time ago that the snooze button is not my friend. Also, the Iphone’s alarm isn’t loud or irritating enough to wake me.
Straight down the hall to the kitchen where the kitties are waiting for me. I’m not supposed to feed them at 3am but what my wife Karen doesn’t know won’t hurt her. Just a sprinkle of dry food for each of them as I make the coffee. (Our dog has always slept in until Karen gets up at a more reasonable hour)
Then I check the world on the internet to see what happened over night, perhaps gloat a little over the highlights of the Leafs latest loss, ignore when my Habs have lost and finally jump in the shower and go to work.
I’m thinking of making a small change to that routine if Santa is good to me. I think I might like asking Alexa, Google or Siri to turn on the coffee just before I jump out of bed.
