Yawn! Got any toothpicks to prop my eyes open, anyone? Whoa! Gooooooodddd Morrrrrrrnnnnniiinnnnggg! Let's get this day cookin' the right way! You didn't hear me say that about toothpicks, did you? Nawwww. Sometimes, though, I think I need them when I first wake up in the morning with all the hours I've been keeping lately. Brother!

G'Mornin', Folks! Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, are you? Good! Let's get going on this day. I'm doing some coffee-blending today again. Costco has been offering its usual San Francisco Bay French Roast -- which we've been buying -- along with a privately-labeled Columbian Supremo.
