On being a piss poor Epicurean
I can barely type this morning. Each keystroke is an act of concentration and premeditation. I attribute the cause of my sluggishness to watching too much TV last night: Gilda starring Rita Hayworth and Glen Ford (“put the blame on Mame, boys”), Desperate Housewives, Jericho on Mystery, Master and Commander, and Edward Scissorhands. I admit my reasoning is hardly scientific.
Epicureans should take all their pleasures in moderation. Last night’s TV orgy, like other things I do to excess, seemed fun while I was doing it. I guess I’m a piss poor Epicurean too.

How many great stories have included the phrase, "It seemed like a good idea at the time...."
Besides, if you don't overindulge, you are not enjoying "the American way of life." And if that happens, the terrorists win.

Mike,
Thanks. I feel like a true patriot which makes me feel better already.
