illness and fatigue are pretty good at subduing loneliness--and common sense.

I've been drinking a cherry vanilla diet dr pepper that I got yesterday evening from the school of ed's soda machine, a soda that since I came home last night has been sitting in my refrigerator, you know, opened and stale. I didn't mean to buy it, but I guess on the path to the water button my finger lost its focus.
There's a date on the bottle and on the lid, that is a date which has passed weeks ago. Is that an expiration date? Has diet cherry vanilla dr pepper been in existence long enough to expire?

I neither like nor abhor it, and that doesn't mean I have to drink it, but I do. I sip it slowly. I have no idea why.

I thought I'd share that.
