Hope in a cinnimon bun. I have hope that I can spell cinnimon correctly. See? I can't. Cinimon. Nope. cinnamon. There. I have hope in a gf, df bun. Either way, love the message. When something is sweet there's hope.

Where do you get your cinnamon buns? I once had my consciousness altered by a penn station Cinnabon it was one of the greatest moments of my life!

Stale smells. I've always had the ability to close my nasal passages if I breathe through my mouth. Is this a technique or a freakish nose? OTOH not a good look. I await the New Yorker piece and your Cannon Ball epic, forget JK Toole.
