Sugar update and Comfest...

Well, I went about three days without any extra sugar in my diet, and it wasn't really all that bad. The one thing that sucked is that I realized I don't like tea very much without the sweet stuff. Then, on the fourth day, ComFest hit like a sugar-coated hurricane. IT...WAS...AWESOME! I drank 4 large sweet Iced Teas, had gyros, brats, pizza, got STELLAR buttons from mrpickles.com (Check it out, I highly recommend), and saw some really good local music (Which you can read about at thabombshelter.com [an aside, I plug his site a lot...]). By the way, the Cubs won today, beating the White Sox 2-1 in only their 8th one-run victory of the season (8-15) to "improve" to 34-39 on the season. We're (fingers crossed) starting to put it together...
