My brother Anis has this thing he does (or did?):
You know what the best thing in the world is?
Free donuts.
You know what the second best thing in the world is?
Free donut.
Even though donuts are not involved, I think Anis would still be pretty pleased with visiting me today, because today is free ice cream day in my building. Once a year, the building treats us to yummy ice cream from one of the local ice cream shops. Lunch will be a little delayed today.
Later...
Mmm, that was gooood. We had several choices, and, keeping in line with my recent relaxation of the self-imposed no caffeine rule (I haven't resumed the regular drinking of coffee, or even black tea, but I'll have green tea some days), I had the bowl with the Chocolate Mac Nut and the Royal Kona Coffee. I went decadent and topped it with granola, crumbled oreos, and whip cream. The result was thoroughly enjoyable and had the side benefit of taking me back in time. One of our favorite special desserts, and often a request for our birthdays, was the ice cream pie my mom would make, with Breyer's coffee ice cream and an oreo crust.
Oh man that sounds so good. We had an ice cream day at work last month but it cost three bucks. Not too bad, though.
I like Anis's poetry, thanks for the link. I hope he makes it to nationals!
