Coffee Crisp Juggernaut

The chocolate bar invasion of the US continues unabated. I have been able to find Coffee Crisp at 7-11 convenience stores in the vicinity of Laurel and Frederick, MD, as well as in north-west Washington, DC, and Reston, VA. Alas, the one 7-11 store which truly matters --the one across the road from my office-- hasn't caught on yet.

None were found at Sheetz outlets in West Virginia as of two weekends ago, but we now have reports of Coffee Crisp being available in Cleveland, OH!

Resistance is futile! Embrace the chocolate!

I've been spending a lot of time listening to various podcasts lately. None are music-related: instead, I've been delighted to listen to public lectures, classroom seminars, various symposia and the like.

Recent favourites:

• 12 Byzantine Rulers: The History of the Byzantine Empire
  
• TVO's Big Ideas
  
• British History 101
  
• BusinessWeek - Cover Stories
  
• Mother Jones Radio
  
• NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
  
• Ockham's Razor
  
• Swarthmore College Faculty Lectures
  
• TEDTalks (video)
  
• University of Bath Public Lecture Podcast
  
• University of Virginia
  

Anyone have advice of others I should be listening to?
