Tweet Hi. Remember me? It has been an interesting couple of weeks. By ‘interesting’, I mostly mean ‘bad’. I don’t want to get into the whole thing out here in the public square, but things went a little haywire. Oddly enough, I stuck to the deal, more or less.

Let’s see… yogurt… no… honey-roasted peanuts… pita chips have to be safe (nope, right there… in the ingredients… “sugar”)… ok… how about… a bagel! Of course!
