Many years ago, there was an advice column called ‘Ann Landers’. “Ann Landers would use the phrase “wake up and smell the coffee”. She would often use this phrase when people seemed to be denying situations that made them uncomfortable or unhappy. For example, “Dear M&L: Wake up and smell the coffee, sister. If you think this guy is going to come back to you, you’re two sandwiches short of …” (copied from Google)

Ann Landers is no longer with us. But you can still get advice from prayer.

Prayers for Gypsy, Firehouse Subs (scratch that: make it Fireman Ed, Mollie (Roger Roger’s wife) and Mary (Fudd’s sister)

Post workout coffee discussion: For two or three months, Offshore (today Mr. Rogers) has made coffee for us after the workout. There’s a percolator and we’ve found an outlet that is ‘hot’. Good discussions take place. The gender reveal for Gaudí’s second baby due around Christmas will come when the baby is born.
