Dear Scott, You turned 33 about a week ago. And we celebrated by making a cake and frosting from scratch and using said frosting to fill in the grand canyon that formed in the cake. Oh, and I think that we watched soccer. I remember being very bored for about 90 minutes in the middle [...]

I believe strongly in cake. Birthday cake. Valentine’s Day cake. Cake to say hello. Cake to say good-bye. I Heart Cake t-shirts. So not surprising that: I would buy a cake much too big for E’s birthday. We would enjoy eating it for weeks. We would get another cake for my birthday. I’m eating that [...]
