After the main course I considered dessert. I consider it long and hard. They had a &#8220;cheese cake bar&#8221; with an assortment of 6 choices. Oh my&#8230; I love cheese cake. I can taste it now in my imagination as I&#8217;m writing this. But I considered&#8230; and I declined. It wasn&#8217;t a particularly noble choice. I just didn&#8217;t want it&#8230; Odd, for me I&#8217;d say. But I walked away without feeling like I&#8217;d made any great sacrifice. Yes, something is at work in me.
