Fun is great and all but never underestimate the power of bed. Sweet, warm, comfy, inviting, healing, restoring, delicious, wonderful bed. Twenty of the best parties ever don’t hold a candle to the feeling you get crawling into bed after a long hard day. I’m crazy about it. I highly recommend it.

Another good thing about bed… You get to wake up the next morning, if you’re lucky, and have a hot cup of coffee. I don’t want coffee all day, just a cup in the morning. Strong, with cream. And it doesn’t have to be fancy coffee either. Good old Folgers medium roast will do just fine. My incentive for going to bed early often times has been the dangling carrot of a morning cup of coffee.

And let me toss in slippers. Slippers are the perfect pairing for an evening in bed. Sluffing around in my slippers in the evening are akin to the comfort of bed, but not quite as incredible-feeling. Really damned good, but just the appetizer to the meal. They’re an 8 on a 10 point comfort scale with bed being a perfect 10. A good pair of slippers prepare you for bed. But there’s still nothing like bed.

Good night. I have coffee to dream about.
