Up early because Amazon's delivery service rang the doorbell when they dropped off the Christmas packages. I can't complain because it's raining and the packages would have been ruined if they just left them at the door. That's what USPS does here because our postman is congenitally incompetent. So, as long as I'm awake, I'm having a bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
