Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m not a big fan of chocolate ice cream. Never have been. I really don’t know why that is, because I love other chocolate things.

I remember when I was in high school, my mother once tried to convince me to go out with the dorky son of one of her bridge buddies. “What does he look like?” I asked. She replied, “Looks aren’t everything. He’s got such a great personality!” I knew I …
