Like any addiction, there are certain triggers that set off my chocolate cravings including (in no particular order):

1. Horizontal falling snow followed 
    by three days of torrential rain,  
   also known as winter in Toronto.

2. My father asking me if I've paid 
    off my mortage yet (in other words,
    every visit to the family home).

3.  A boss asking me why I didn't 
     predict the photocopier was going
     to break down that day.

4. Working until midnight on my 
     birthday.      

5.  Getting lost in a ginormous cemetery in Rome just as the sun is 
     setting.

6.  The lack of statutory holidays in Canada between January and April.

Just to name a few things that send me hunting for chocolate!
