ometimes I really miss having cold cereal after a good workout.  I had to give it up entirely because I was unable to stop at just one bowl.  I was more likely to down a third of a box.  I never could get the milk/cereal ratio right so I kept adding one or the other.

I liked the bad cereals, too.  Sugar Pops were a favorite, even though they tore up the roof of my mouth.  I like Frosted Flakes and Sugar Smacks. I ate a lot of Trix but stopped that probably about the time I got married because, as you know, Trix are for kids.

When I started getting concerned about how much cereal I was eating I switched to a healthier lot like Whole Wheat Cheerios, Grape Nuts, Raisin Bran and Uncle Sam’s.  I even tried Shredded Wheat for a while but that was just wrong for a cereal.  I finally just gave up and quit entirely.  I’m sure I am better off but I have fond memories of reading comic books while consuming two or three bowls of cold cereal.
