Tracy: Well, yes, it for sure is me all right. . . How have you been doing Andy?

Andy: Doing well, real well, matter of fact. . . Haven’t seen you at the weekly “Hooked” meetings in like . . . forever..

Tracy, confused: “Hooked meetings”?

Andy: Yeh, “Hooked”. . . You know, our “Hooked on Chocolate” meetings.

Tracy, smiles, remembers: Oh I remember, . . meetings we used to have to explore our love of chocolate.

Andy: Well, as I recall, Tracy, it was your idea to start up those Hooked meetings, . . recruited me and a lot of others, it was you got us hooked on chocolate.

Tracy, smiles: For sure, those were good times all right.

Andy: So, . . . I assume that . . you are like, not into chocolate anymore?

Tracy, shock: Bite your tongue! My passion for chocolate will never die! . . . How could you think I would just quit loving chocolate? . . Man, what a silly thought Andy!

Andy: Oh, good to hear that you are still into chocolate like always.

Tracy: That’s never gonna change I tell ya!

Andy: So, have you heard P.C. Andrews speak of his excursion to Central America . . .?

Tracy: “P.C. Andrews”?

Andy: Yeh, Jimmy Andrews, . . we all call him “P. C.” on account of he is so into Panna Cotta chocolate. . . P. C. he toured all the cacao bean growing countries and shared with us at our last “Hooked” meeting. You should have been there!

Tracy: I don’t understand, I mean, way I see it, once you have experienced one chocolate, I mean, you have mostly experienced them all.
