I also do this with chick peas. -…

Got to serve a soda to Ronald Reagan about 1978 or so. Very nice and friendly. Robert Redford - A bit more quiet than I expected. Very nice. Shorter than I expected. Mickey Rooney - Pleasant enough.

Assuming you have your bag packed, shoes ready, car keys, etc all ready "to go" the night before....that alleviates a lot of stress trying to get out the door (for me anyway). Agree with alarm clock on the other side of the room. If you are a coffee drinker, coffee pots that can be programmed to brew before the alarm and…
