National Chocolate Candy Day is observed annually on December 28 in the USA.

Some say that eating chocolate can improve overall health and lower the risk of heart disease. Candy may not be the best form in which to consume it. But, taken in moderation, how bad could it be?

“Like that movie "Touch of Evil" I got the Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich blues

Where Orson walks in to the whore house and

Marlene says "Man, you look like hell"

And Orson's chewing on a chocolate bar

As the lights go on in the old Blue Star hotel

"Read my future" says old Orson, "down inside the tea leaves of your cup"

And she says "You ain't got no future, Hank,

I believe your future's all used up””

Dessert and Sex

Most men my age probably do not follow posts on BuzzFeed as much as I do. We are not their target demographic. My excuse is that my granddaughter works for them as a Social Media Strategist. And, it can be greatly amusing.

Dessert Test Will Determine How Sexy You Are

Last night I took a quiz that is supposed to determine one's sex appeal based on their choice of a cake, cookie, candy, and pie.

I can say that never before have been likened to a molten lava cake. It seems my choice of desserts outstrips my actual life, by far. Why not try it and see how you do.

By the way, as to my age, let's just say that I am no longer a sexagenarian. (See what I did there.)

Une très petite boîte de chocolats pour être sûr. Mais encore, "Vous ne savez jamais ce que vous allez obtenir."
