We were in Sacramento last weekend, waiting for baby Elliott, and I had a craving for a Krispy Kreme donut. Unfortunately, and this is old news to Sacramento residents, there are no longer any Krispy Kreme donut shops in Sacramento. There used to be several stores, but apparently the Krispy Kreme company expanded too quickly and encountered some financial difficulties, and now all of the Sacramento stores have closed. Now some of you may think that this is not a bad thing, since eating a Krispy Kreme donut is a lot like eating raw heated sugar, and certainly would not help at all for someone like me who is trying to lose weight. But I thoroughly enjoy Krispy Kreme donuts, especially when they are fresh and warm right off the conveyor line… it’s one of my “guilty pleasures”. Well, honestly I really don’t feel very guilty at all when I eat them, so I guess it’s just a really nice pleasure. So last weekend I experienced some slight withdrawal symptoms… maybe this is some sort of divine intervention to help me lose weight.

Coincidentally, back at home I recently was in the mood for a Strawberry and Banana Frozen Yogurt Shiver from TCBY. But there are no longer any TBCY stores in our town. There were two stores here for years, but within the last year both of them closed and were converted to locally-owned yogurt shops. The good news is that one of the new local shops makes Shivers that taste pretty close to the TCBY versions so I’m not doing totally without, unlike Krispy Kreme donuts. And it’s healthier, too.

Oh, and one more thing… Happy 66th Birthday, Paul!
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m…
