Serendipity is a wonderful thing.

This morning I stumbled upon bottledair.org, a site belonging to a young New Yorker named Elise. Check out her hilarious post, dated June 28, 2002, entitled "The Retirement Cake".

Have it. Eat it. Read it.

(What ... you were expecting me to say she "takes the cake"? Oy. Please.)

Note: Earlier I posted that Elise's site is called "bottledbliss.org" and that the post was dated June 30. Please note that it's "bottledair.org" and the post is dated June 28. (Elise was kind enough not to point out my blunders. The kid's got class.)
