Carob is evil. Evil I tell you evil! Nothing can be a chocolate substitute, ever.

That said, instead of my 8:30am cup of coffee, I am having herbal tea - no caffiene whatsoever. Why? Because of sodding iron pills. I swear I’m going to change the time at which I take these just so I can have a cup of coffee in the morning.

That would be trytophan, **NCB**. It’s an amino acid, which is one of the basic building blocks of the body. (that’s all I know about it, but Sean was impressed the other night that I know my science 😃 )

Quote that I found in _Shakey: Neil Young’s Biography_: “I can’t be held responsible for the products of my subconcious.” (Francis Bacon)

Hmm… I might adopt that as my new sig, or use it in a Hangman / Wheel of Fortune Game at another board. (my “safe place”) I’ll have to think about that, though.

Right now my Cubs hat is sitting on the porch, inside out, with a Polish curse on it. Dem fuckers won’t win another post season series for 100 years if I have anything to say about it. Pardon my French.

They don’t deserve it. Go Marlins.
