My mornings depend on whether I am meeting my friends for coffee or staying home. This ritual started at my bagel shop when I was in business. A small group of guys started meeting at Bob’s Bagels every morning. When I closed my doors, we kept the routine going, looking for another coffee shop to meet (usually at 7:30). Finding the right place to meet is not an easy task. But we found that local grocery stores had eating areas, and this worked out just fine. We drink coffee, eat a light breakfast, and discuss politics and other topical subjects.
If it is a weekend, well, then I rise at 7 a.m., brush my teeth and let the dog out, make coffee, take my pills (yes, I’m finally there), dress for the day, and drink said coffee. I also play a game called June’s Journey. My wife loved that one, and I kept playing after she passed. After that, I walk the dog and sit down to write.
