Why…why would you do this?!

The question of “why” is a good one.

It all came to me that day when I was sitting in the Suffolk County courthouse, waiting to be called for jury duty. I was thinking about the amount of cheese and dairy products I consume. I love them, I live off them. I’ve even said that I would die if I couldn’t eat cheese. But then I realized that’s silly…and hmm, maybe I should try to…be…vegan. For a month. Just one month. For an experiment. Just because I can.

The idea of doing it as a personal test and experiment intrigued me.

And just for shits and giggles I threw alcohol into the equation. I decided to give that up, too. For a month. Just one month.

[A really boring month...]

That may be harder to do than go without cheese.

So here I am. Ready to move into a new apartment on September 1, and give up all meat products and byproducts for one whole, entire, fucking month.
