\n“One can never have too much dark chocolate,” I countered.\u00a0 She gave me a look…. “I think you have an ample supply,” she offered, grimly.\u00a0 Hmmm.
\nCurious, I set out to learn just how much chocolate I possess right now.\u00a0 Here is my inventory.
\nIn the refrigerator:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\nIs it possible to have too much dark chocolate? <\/strong>
\n“Too much,” I think, is an assessment.\u00a0 It feels like an arbitrary judgment.\u00a0 My wife is a sports fanatic.\u00a0 Is it possible, I might ask, to watch “too much” football or “too much” baseball?\u00a0 She would, of course, respond that it is not possible.
\nExactly.
\nShe is a consumer of sports, I am a consumer of Dark Chocolate.\u00a0 Sports is her Vice of Choice, while Dark Chocolate is mine.\u00a0 I call that a tie!
\nBesides, if there was NO Dark Chocolate in the house, I would feel insecure and anxious.\u00a0 What if there’s a snowstorm, and we can’t get to the store for several days, you know what I mean?\u00a0 Having SOME Dark Chocolate in the house makes me feel warm and secure and content.\u00a0 I’m a better husband, coach, parent, and Human Being when I consume Dark Chocolate.
\nSo I conclude that the amount of Dark Chocolate in the house is…. Just Right.\u00a0 And that makes me very happy.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
