Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 29, 2018

Yes, fasting until February when it’s Valentines Day.

On New Years Day we have a huge family breakfast at my grandmother’s house.

Back before central heating, people needed the extra carbs to get through the winter.

Then again, more and more of us are getting back to that scenario…

The candy makers have made it their business to sell you chocolate at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter. Then they slack off during the months when the product is liable to melt in your hands.

And February…and a chunk of March.

Actually, that’s done the six weeks before Easter, Frazz. Or the six weeks after Mardi Gras. Depending of course on your point of view…

SouthEast Georgia just love it always warm no more snow only on TV

No, no, January’s not for fasting. January is for vegetables. After all the holidays, that’s when I become in January.

But in January, the economy blossoms because the spas, gyms, and exercise gurus benefit from all the guilt. In February, we’re back to making up reasons not to go. By March, all guilt is erased – or at least rationalized away – and the norm is maintained until November.

T’is the human way to play.

That’s why New Years resolutions come at the start of January.

Sadly, I notice that the protein phase is a good deal shorter than each of the two sugar phases. It’s gonna be another long winter.
