Okay.
It is Wednesday night.
My vacation officially starts tomorrow.
Tonight, after work, I just got home...and my pal got a new bag of Tully's coffee. He knows that I brew a fresh pot of coffee at night, using Whatever Is On Discount. Tonight, he treats me to Tully's.

Sounds neat, huh?

He's getting me wired up to play poker, online. He's been ribbing me to beat the hard players, ...and start catching up to him. (It is sort of payback, for me making him laugh so much, last week, when I was taping up his cracked ribs.)

Tully's is stout stuff, when he fixes it. This may be an all-nighter.

Coffee....

I don't drink the stuff myself, just give me hot cocoa any time!

Cocoa is good stuff.

The coffee gets me into the "zone" after a while, and I like being a bit on edge.

Did someone say coffee???

Coffe is a perkin'!!
That first biting cup is taking effect. Now, I will probably not sleep a wink until noon!!

What do you expect? It comes from Seattle.

Sounds like you're wired already!!

uh oh!!! Poker????? You could very well be playing my 16 year old poker playing son!!! Which site???

Coffee an vanilla ice cream
