Things We Learned To-day*…

not ice cream1. If it’s called “Dairy Dessert” it sure isn’t ice cream. Not by a long shot. Yeah, it’s cold and sweet (TOO sweet), but that’s about it.

I’m staring at a pint of crappy vanilla fudge and mentally flipping a coin as to whether to finish the entire thing and go for a nice walk later and tomorrow morning or just have oh, somewhat less than half and do that same double walk. Eh, we’ll see… I don’t have any major vices these days, so I may as well do what I can to make someone feel better than I do on occasion…
