Before covid: a walk between 5:30 and 6AM, coffee and breakfast at the same time, scan the paper while eating, shave and brush teeth, and out the door to my office, where while doing work also scanning LGF and a few other sites. Back at 4 or 5, another walk. Shower, eat, do some more work while scanning. Bed.

Now: Dog comes into room to jump on bed and sit on my head to apparently send a mesage, usually at the established time ante-pandemic. I struggle to make coffee as the dog says, ‘I gotta poo!’; we go for the walk, I feed her, have coffee, and then read the paper and do the crossword puzzle; then I go upstairs to lie back down for awhile and tour the internet—-the dog now comes upstairs in a Pavlovian response the sound of old box springs groaning under my weight; she curls up against me and makes butt contact. I want to stay that way all day, but alas….
