Recipe For a Sunday Morning

A stirring lilac breeze for an alarm or, alternatively, a morning dove's song Minimum one, maximum two people absolutely no minors Several medium-firm pillows a well-fluffed quilt, untucked Two auto-frying eggs and strips of bacon and auto-toasting toast, buttered, triangular A large glass of freshly-squeezed (by someone else) pink grapefruit juice Espresso served in tiny cups à la volonté steamed milk upon request A stout newspaper, of which no more than 50% can be composed of actual news Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue" looping in the background One pair of loose fitting boxer shorts with t-shirt one pair of bare feet, regardless of the season And absolutely, positively no planning whatsoever

That's the one morning when we don't have to rush out of the house. The title reminded me of a song by the sixties group Spanky and Our Gang. Good write.
