Before I tell you this story, please know: Fluid Pudding has absolutely nothing to do with bodily functions. In fact, I like to pretend that my body does NOT function, if you know what I’m saying. Over the summer when I was diagnosed with a condition that has the word Bowel in the name? Um, [...]

The photo above was taken at 5:30 this morning, right before I made coffee and stared at the tree in silence. The silence was broken at 6:15, but will be quickly reassembled in approximately one hour and ten minutes. Merry Christmas to one and all from the Pudding family.

Just a few quick things: As you read this, we’re actually on the way to Indianapolis! We all have fresh haircuts, and my mom has given me one of those huge plastic cups from Starbucks. In other words, as these very words travel from your eyes to your brain, I’m most likely sitting in the [...]
