Happy Donut Day!

Today we honor the brave men and women in our nation who make our country great. They are the few, the proud, the Donut Makers.

In case you missed it, today, June Fourth, is National Donut Day. It is the day we take a moment and reflect on our love for these spherical bits of goodness and the minimum-wage earning souls whose sacrifices bring them to us.

I know that all good citizens will be honoring the day by stopping and partaking in at least one sweet, round bit of heaven. I know I will. The question is: What donut to get? I myself favor the classic Krispy Kreme™, but since there isn't a franchise anywhere near me, I may have to settle for the more pedestrian Dunkin' Donuts™. Despite their name, DD seems to be more about coffee than donuts. Their chocolate donut is pretty decent though, so I may celebrate with that.

Remember though, today is all about the donuts, so don't dishonor the day by ordering a Bear Claw or a Bismark. Even if you are one of those twisted souls that eats a Boston Creme, stick to the donuts.

Only in the good ol' U.S. of A. could we have a National Donut Day. It almost makes me proud to live in this great nation!

Of course, I would be prouder if I lived near a Krispy Kreme™... 

Jelly Belly

Not much to post today, so I thought I'd return to that tiresome subject (tiresome for you, Faithful Reader, but not for me) about what a perfect wife my Perfect Wife is.

Last night, I expressed to her a hankering for a jelly donut. As you can guess, today when I awoke she had gone out and gotten TWO jelly donuts for me from our local Dunkin' Donuts. They hit the  spot, too. This kind of thoughtfulness is second nature  to her, which is one of the reasons  I love her so. True, she had to drop the kids off at school and was going by DD anyway, and I DID make her a Spam omelet yesterday, but still...

If there is a point to this post (and if you are a regular reader, you may have noticed that I have one now and again), it is NOT that Dunkin' Donuts are so great (I prefer Krispy Kreme, but since the nearest franchise is 2 states away, the drive is not convenient, so we make do). Rather, my point is: There is someone out there for everyone. Maybe even someone who will go out and get you a jelly donut on a chilly morning when you crave one. You just have to keep looking for he/she/it and never settle for anyone "good enough".

Hey, I found someone, so anyone can! 

Enough mushy stuff (for now). Next time, back to my hilarious observations and cartoons that won't cost you anything, and are worth every penny!
