Win/win for him! Not so much for her. But keeping the ritual
once a week, that's nice.

Yeah, but he has complained that he's not getting much anyway. Maybe he
should invest that in a different place.

I bring my wife a cup of coffee in bed every morning except Sunday. I
wake her up with the magic word, "coffee."

On Sundays, I have to go to work very early, so I grind the coffee,
put it in the filter, put the water in the drip machine, and she just
has to push one button.

As per agreement with said wife, no motorcycle for me. Too dangerous.
