Being a wake up genius is lonely work. Often, you have to go at it by yourself because it’s risky, with uncertain outcomes. This morning, however, I had an unknowing accomplice – Pugsley! Pugsley snores. And he’s not dainty about it. This morning, he was snoring on the pillow next …

When considering what method I will use to obtain BREAKFAST each morning, I have to assess the situation and make use of the environment. This makes things interesting for me and keeps the staff guessing. This morning I noticed that the staff’s hair was beautifully fanned out across her pillow. …
