Yeah, I'm talking about me.  Who's more 'well loved' then me?  I am evidently so "sweet" that a mosquito took a bite of me.  Yep, some very tasty White Chocolate for that particular bug.

And for those of you who think it "can't happen to you", remember that it happened to "Lubbock's Most Beloved Radio Personality.
