How I lost 40 lbs

Some people are bored. I'm having too much fun. Some people are out of ideas. I'm having too many. Some people are looking for new recipes. I'm struggling to re-create the thing I did yesterday. Some people are afraid to improvise. I find it hard to rehearse. Like every other talent, Creative Genius is both a blessing and a curse.
