I identify a lot with our nation's Olympic Athletes. We've all trained hard with our eyes set on one prize.... As the Olympic hoopla mounts, I've been happy to see so many "anti-doping" ads. But it all has me thinking... I believe I may have an addiction of my own... caffeine! Back at home, I was drinking double soy lattes for breakfast, every day, and a big diet cola at lunch. Call it trainee's nerves... I needed my fixes, and I hate to say that I can now imagine how an athlete (or a songthlete) might turn to chemicals... What's happening to me?! Being in Europe, the last few days, I've consumed so much coffee. I'm simultaneously bouncing off the walls and experiencing the sedation that comes with overstimulation. My mind feels like it's underwater. Caffeinated water! I need to go home and detox. Just say no, kids!
