It's been a long day, but at least I had the opportunity to see Andrew Bacevich today. A video of his talk will eventually be made available, but I will type up my notes when I get a chance--perhaps later tonight.

It does seem that high fructose corn syrup tastes "sweeter" than cane sugar; I had my fill of that today, and I think I will soon be ready to swear off soda with that as an ingredient. If my mother's flight hadn't been delayed I would have spent less time at In and Out, but I managed to stay awake this afternoon. A visit to the B&N at Tanforan was next; after I picked her up I felt really tired. The inevitable crash in blood sugar level? It seemed different from what I feel during a food coma.
