Gummy Bears and Poor Substitutes

I think that I have an addiction to gummy candies now. German gummy bears are the absolute best. This was not an issue before we got out here and I wouldn't say it is one now. I think. It may be under control only because gummy bears are hard to get here. Yet whenever I do open a bag of those little colorful guys it's fruit-bear carnage. Normally, I wouldn't be the guy with the sweet tooth but no more. I don't know, it has to be the wine thing. Usually, back in Germany, it is nothing to put away a European share of beer with guys or wine with the wife on any given night. Not so here, violation of orders--and yes for good reason. Okay, I am going to go try to bum or buy some candy and then get around to writing a sermon.
