My friends, I have a bit of distressing news. Yes, many of you noticed that my recent entries have been replete with silliness. This is because I… have stopped drinking coffee. Yes, it's true. I started listening to my body more and it's telling me that it doesn't really jive with the java any longer. If I'm a good boy all week, I may pick up a cup on the weekend. But, for the most part, consider me unaddicted. I'm no longer swimming in flavor country and have been looking for another vice.

I also think I'm growing a third nipple, which is one of the reasons I've had to put all “chest scribbles” on hold. Who knows how long it'll be around? At first, I thought it was a zit. Nope. Pimples generally don't look this mean. Next order of business: name it. Unfortunately, I don't know if it is a 'he' or a 'she.' Yet.
