I humbly accept Troyâs kind gesture of honoring the stupidity of my mistakes. 
And so, Iâll kick this offâŚ
When I was young, we all were sitting down for a family dinner. I reached for the bottle of Heinz ketchup and, before slathering my plate, grabbed it around the middle and gave it a vigorous shake by swirling and snapping my wrist back and forth.
Apparently the cap was not on very tightly.
When it popped off, several sweeping arcs of juicy ketchup were splattered across the kitchen walls. This brought an initial look of shock, followed by a round of laughter - most especially from my grandmother.
What she didnât realize was that some of these red arcs of ketchup ran right across the top of her just-coiffed beehive hairdo. As she swayed back and forth - laughing at the ketchup streaks she saw splattered across the walls - we could see the clearly outlined blank âhead-shapedâ clean spot on the wall just behind her, where a silhouette of grandma had been painted. 
Just a funny high-carb, fructose-juiced memory from my SAD childhood.

I never made any mistakes. I ate SAD true and faithful. I heard about âMediterraneanâ and threw in a salad with olive oil and vinegar once in a while, but it never seduced me away from the straight and narrow. I was curious about veggie/vegan but beef and broccoli with gravy and Hawaiian pizza kept me âjust curiousâ never serious. All-you-can-eat Chinese buffet - that was the ticket! Sweet 'n Sour Pork, Sechuan anything! The hard choice was Big Mac and fries or Pappa Burger and poutine. Light beer sucks dog turds. Menchieâs was a daily pit stop. I made no mistakes on SAD. I was all in.
