It’s strange how you find things sometimes. Via this geocache<\/a>, via my mapping tool<\/a>, via ACME Mapper<\/a>, via GeoURL<\/a>, I found Bill Reardon’s weblog<\/a> (who also happens to work at Yahoo!<\/a>), which brought me to his home page<\/a> where I found this amusing story about eating 50 Chicken McNuggets in one sitting<\/a>. I’ve been hearing ads for the new “white meat” McNuggets<\/a>. I wonder if they would have the same effect. <\/p>\n

I started a tradition of ridding myself of Fast Food several years ago, mostly for my own health. One year for New Year’s, I decided to give up eating at McDonalds. The next year it was Burger King. Then Jack in the Box, then Carl’s Jr., then In-n-Out. Living 200 feed from a KFC made it easy to give that up the next year. Then Taco Bell. The only one left now is Wendy’s, but I need something<\/B> to eat when I’m on the road for one reason or the other. At this point I’m out of restaurants to give up. That A&W down the road is pretty nasty. Maybe I’ll give that up. Beef Bowl<\/a> is really bad for me I’m sure, but I don’t live very close to one these days, so that would be a freebie. <\/p>\n

So with the exception of Mardi Gras where I make an exception for myself and eat at McDonald’s (if I remember to), I’ve been mostly fast-food free for about 7 years now. <\/p>\n

Lately I’ve been having some nasty cravings for KFC. Today while grocery shopping, I was plotting buying some of that fried chicken they sell at the deli counter. Mmmm. They’ll be much gluttony over the next week’s holidays, that’s for sure. <\/p>\n

It’s frigtening to think that Christmas is almost here. December is definitely the shortest month. I think eating chocolates out of our Advent calendar makes it even worse because every day you’re reminded of how few days there are left. I think I’d like to just fast forward to January 2004 now and get back to normal life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
