At Piedmont Community College, where I work as a writing tutor, we get a lot of emails. Most of them have to do with grading rosters that need to be turned in or an upcoming college event. I scan the email headings to see which emails I need to read.
My eyes almost popped out of my English tutor head when I read this one:
CAKE IN FRIDGE
Yum!
I love cake. I love it for the flavor, but I love cake too for the the celebrations it represents: birthdays, weddings, graduations, anniversaries, promotions, book signings, holidays, store openings, and lots of other happy times.
Today, Friend for the Ride is one year old.
And so, to each of you, for reading my blog, I’m sending:
A cake in the fridge
Albeit it’s an imaginary one, but it comes with my love and thanks!
