I need a new morning routine. Some of you already know about the stumbling around, fumbling with coffee grains and percolators until something resembling humanity enters my demeanour.

I also read the news. I read the Globe & Mail. Then I read the BBC. Following that, I move on to Haaretz, which is immediately followed by Al-Jazeera. I read them in a state of intra-caffeination and I don't think I can do it anymore.

Knowing what's going on in the world is a terrible way to start the day.
