A couple of months ago Cara discovered my secret candy stash.  Yes, I have a secret candy stash.  Was I embarrassed?  Sure.  Did I curtail my candy consumption?  No.  Should I curtail my candy consumption?  Yes.  I've become a bad influence on those around me.

Recently my 3-year-old nephew, Peter, was making some of his imaginary expresso.  He calls it, 'spress, ha ha.    He adds fun things to his blend like, pizza and spaghetti.  I suggested he add the breakfast cereal, Apple Jacks.  Which he calls "Apple Jack."  Ha ha.  Why did I tell him about Apple Jacks?  He doesn't even know what they are.  Now that's all he's going to want.

For these reasons and others, I am announcing my retirement from candy consumption.  I'm not 100% sure how to do this but if I can quit soda, I can do anything.

Have a nice day.
