There’s something I need to know and it’s an emergency. Does the required daily consumption of coffee/caffeine increase with body weight? I haven’t weighed myself recently, but I think I may have packed away a few pounds since I started working out at the Y. Suddenly, and most unwelcomely, I’ve noticed diminishing returns from a cup of brown gold. If I have to explain this any further then you really don’t know me at all, do you?

I’ve sinned against myself, in thought, word, and deed. A few days ago I took up caffeine again. Dun-dun-dun, DAAAAAAAAAA! That’s right folks, my doctors may be saying no, but my mind and body [...]
Mid-morning man
I’ve probably written this post before, but I don’t care. My editor is on vacation this week, so this one’s going straight out – repost, new ground, correct spelling, good English, or not. The spell checker on my phone… is unreliable. I was going to use another word, one of a few colorful choices rhyming with duck, but I’m feeling polite. I pride myself on self-awareness. I like to think it’s one of my strengths – the silver lining to low self-esteem. The monitor runs pretty close to 24/7, so I’m usually right on top of things. Whether I cope [...]
