Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Someone decided it would be a good thing for each of us to give up one vice. Just for five days. And to do it cheerfully.

Now, five days may not seem like a long time, until you realize that one of those days is Daylight-Savings-Time-Day (or the opposite, I can never keep them straight), which I used to think just meant you jumped back an hour, but what actually happens (at least this year) is that you jump back about a month which makes this Lose-A-Vice game last for-EV-er.

What did we give up, you ask? Things like booze, coffee, meat, chocolate, bread, and staying up late. Doesn't seem so tough, you say? Then bite me. And gimme some meatloaf.

Hmphghrrr...
