Chocolate and Cheese

Have you ever noticed, during the Holidays, how you walk into a grocery store, and immediately encounter the inevitable, (and inviting), display of chocolate and cheese? And then, 5 minutes later, January hits, and suddenly, as if in some type of violent mood swing, the stores display nothing but diet drinks and power bars. What happened to the chocolate? Where did it go?

It's kind of funny, really, this whole 'New Year's resolution' thing. It's great for Coca-Cola . . . It cracks me up every year. The first of January, people everywhere jump back on the wagon, and swear they'll never touch the stuff, at least not until they've lost those holiday inches, by golly . . . and then round about Valentine's Day they're so famished and deprived that temptation starts getting to them, they rationalize that it's a holiday! darn it, the traditional day of sweets! . . . AND finally, come spring break, and Easter, everybody's back on the sauce, and life is good again. : ) Brother. Such silliness. Giggle giggle hee hee hee. It's so amusing to watch the same patterns over and over every year.

It's become so . . . predictable.

Maybe I'm getting old. . . Do we have any cheese?
