Walter begins every morning with Strauss’s “Also sprach Sarathustra” and then transitions to patriotic marches by John Phillip Sousa, followed by rousing Third Reich military marches.
In a word, yes. It’s a matched set with the uniform. Hazel would be wise to clean out his closet.. tomorrow looks like a tarzan theme complete with a leopard skin thong.
Saturday mornings 0600. Dad would put on his marching band record at a high volume, grab a metal pot and spoon from the kitchen, and bang loudly and not in time with the music until the 4 of us were up. I am not a morning person. I agree with Frank & Ernest, “Get up at the crack of dawn, stuff the crack up and go back to bed.”
i always smile at all the folks who’re so hostile about the early a.m. we lived in a farming community where folks thought nothing of showing up at your door at 5:30 in the morn and i still wake up before 4 after all these years. it used to be self-defense; now it’s just habit… ☺

Well, Hazel, he needs something to get him going, and your coffee just isn’t doing it.

It’s not a must. It’s his pleasure (and his gift to her).
[A thought: “Must she be such a buzzkill in the morning?”]

Well, could you maybe leave out the cannon on the 1812 overture next time? They’re causing my breakfast souffles to fall.

Tipperary continues to “Tippeecanoe” — and tip many a teacup, too.
… along with Hazel to boot.
