Nice way to describe the earth in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry (or raspberry) flavors. Good write.

Haha! No worries, Joe. : ) I'm glad you enjoyed it. As for ingesting it at night, yes, I get into trouble but as long as it's none of that "Fat Free" stuff, I splurge every now and then; and a little pepto bismal helps LOL Thanks my friend!
