Uggg I hate days like today when I eat and I'm not satisfied but don't have any idea what I want. I had breakfast and lunch and an apple and a small piece of cheese cake and lots of water and i still feel hungry.
A taco?

I usually just grab every snack I can find and put them in a heap next to me. Then I methodically work my way through them until I'm ready to toss. usually works. I used to grab a hot fudge sundae or banana split but my doc says to lay off the sugars.

Looks like a beautiful place to unwind and do some fishing!

Any time I see or hear the word "hyacinth" I cannot but help to think of this song.
(Strange but true tidbit about the song is that the vocals were recorded in the studio bathroom in an attempt to make Jim's voice richer with a slight echo effect.)


Chris how do you know all these Tid bits ?
