Coffee Addiction?

I'm wondering if I'm addicted to coffee. I've been cutting down on my coffee intake over the past month or so (coffee intake has a tendency to creep upwards and before you know it you are drinking 10 cups a day), but when I just had a cup this morning I feel all good and warm inside. I did not feel this way yesterday when I just had water with my breakfast. Am I a druggie who just had a hit?

Old Bay Seasoning

I first went to Maryland about 8 years ago on travel for my job. A friend of mine who had grown up there was going with me and so he had the good information on where to eat. We both like seafood and so we went to this great restaurant on Solomon's Island called The Lighthouse. Well, I had shrimp there done in a way I've still only had in Maryland, cooked with the shell on and doused in Old Bay seasoning. So to me, the taste of Old Bay always takes me back to Maryland. Jane got me some recently, so I've been eating it on all sorts of things and I'm surprised how versatile it is on foods other than seafood. I actually got a whiff of some at work the other day and found out that the Baltimore native who lives in the cube next to me was putting it on Thai food. I'm not sure I'd go that far, though.
