caffeine withdrawal

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.07.08

I've been going to the gym for about two weeks, now, and I have noticed that I'm having a hell of a time concentrating at work (or at home, but what else is new?). Then it dawned on me this afternoon, as I was making my sole allotment of coffee, that it's the caffeine withdrawal, not the gym! Why, oh why did I try to quit coffee at the same time as I joined the gym?

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
