excess...

gigantic pancake

We ate breakfast at a diner the other day.

They appear to live by the motto...
a lot for what you pay, and happens to be
a favorite stop for truckers.

This pancake overflows the dish
and practically occupies half the table.

My breakfast came with just one
of these monsters and was slowly eaten
over several days... some came home with us.

I used only a small portion of the butter
they gave with the pancake, by the way.

Overall, the breakfast, including the pancake,
was very tasty... coffee was great.

Although it may be fun, once in a long while...

"The excess of our youth are checks
written against our age
and they are payable with interest
thirty years later."
