Nearly everyday, I watch wvec.com to see how my story from the night before translated from the computer screen where I wrote it to air. And, as a reporter, when you're watching you can't help but notice how the camera can be well, less than forgiving.

For that reason, I've pretty much given up on sugar, I know it's not my friend.

One day a year though, I indulge my craving for all things sugary. In short, I act like a kid again.

The unfortunate side effect is that I'm wound tighter than a top as I write this blog. I'm enjoying this burst of (false) energy while I can because folks, tomorrow...is not going to be pretty.
