Tough times are ahead

Friends, dangerous times are ahead.

Am I speaking of an ever stronger Taliban presence in Afghanistan?
Further corporate scandals?
Increased home foreclosures and a stalling economy?
War?
Pestilence?
Plague?
Another republican in the White House?

No, I speak of a far more insidious enemy: An enemy that plies its evil trade under the guise of sweet innocence and adorable youth.

Girl Scout Cookie Season.

It is that time of year where unsuspecting adults are at the mercy of green uniformed little girls hawking gloriously baked carb and sugar laden evilness. Try to resist the pull of the coconut caramel crunchy mouth-watering perfection of Samosas. Try to turn away and resist the siren call of Thin Mints and Lemon Coolers! Peanut Butter Tagalongs melting in your mouth...Noooooooo!

Good luck, my friends, as we maneuver though these most treacherous of times.

My thoughts are with you in battle.
