From a Personal Blog Post:
"Ugh, another Monday. My alarm clock and I are in a long-standing feud, and it declared war on me at 6:00 a.m. sharp. I stumbled out of bed, feeling like a zombie, and found that my dog, Buster, had somehow managed to get the bag of pretzels off the counter. The good news? Free pretzels. The bad news? I had to spend 15 minutes picking up the crunchy evidence. Guess it's coffee for dinner tonight." What is the tone?
