On my way to get a snickers bar, I find a packet of M&M's dangling for dear life at one of the counters of a vending machine... apparent enuf that one poor customer had to part with his buck in vain.... so with my freakishly devil instincts working on a high to a get the best bang for the green, I chose the other one against the pertinent wishes of a simpson like angel on my shoulders.... fair enuf i felt, for I have been at the receiving end so many times..... everything went to good until the ill-fated candy jammed itself with the earlier one..... shud have known if it was stuck, it was for a reason... lessons of life from a four legged quarter guzzling friend... greediness gets u nowhere....

It's travel time and we're off to the Land of Enchantment... Spring break is such a lame reason to travel.... that's to say... with no official holidays in the horizon......y not induct a special week to booze off....i wouldnt complain much though......t'was more than a refreshing change.... the sameness of the plains has caught up bigtime... the vagaries of the mountainous weather however had the final say... still mastered the art of standing on skis, courtesy of a five yr old....one less thing to worry abt next time around........ two sure shot signs u r getting older.... renting out a sedan, over the cheaper compacts...just that the 5 hr drive is comfy enuf ....and spending more time picking cuisine rather than ski spots.... something has caught up for sure..... and lest i forget happy b'day to vt.... (with one Karuthamma song in the backgrnd)
