The alarm function turns the radio on at 7:00

I crawl out of bed and stagger to the kitchen, and come
back with two coffees, with the pills my Beautiful
Wife last night put on the tray for morning consumption.
Back into bed, and listen to NPR until 8:20, when I ACTUALLY
OFFICIALLY get up, ready to drive my Downs son to work if it's
raining, snowing, or below freezing. (If it's clement
weather he walks the mile or so to work.)

That's Monday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday,
the coffee routine is the same, but I'll stay horizontal
for a while longer.
