Abre la puerta!
The To* *ot is open! The chain-link fence is down and everything is shiny and sundappled and AVAILABLE. I just stopped by and bought three doughnuts--technically two doughnuts and one fritter. I haven't eaten them yet because I want MSH to pick his favorite. Not to mention a certain someone who's meeting my train! Everything is shiny and new, and I enjoyed witty banter with the doughnut specialist who served me. Ah, the marmot loves the witty banter. I heard from a coworker that there was QUITE a lineup outside this morning (I was crying at an NPR StoryCorps segment, and hence drove by completely oblivious.)
Happy Birthday, To* *ot Wedgwood!
Off to the ten-year high school reunion. Oh yes. Wish us luck.
CORRECTION: I previously stated they have a drive-through window in back. They do not. They have 5 or six parking spots and one-way arrows (in scripty font!) to guide you AROUND the building.

Dearest, most precious Marmot,
Today I was rewarded for 2 years of sometimes grief, sacrifice and turmoil.
The smiles of all those little Wedgwoodies as they waited in line to decide which doughnut would be their reward for dealing with the adult world by being patient said it all.
At last, after 50some years on this planet, I have accomplished something real in life. I have helped to create a place where parents can bring there children so that they can leave chocolate smudges on books, grind maple icing into the terrazzo, walk on brick walls thay aren't supposed to, throw tamtrums because hey didn't want that doughnut but a different one, lock themself in the bathroom, play in the drinking fountain, pet the doggie waiting for it's owner outside, stare at the old people sitting in chairs watching the young ones so full of life who don't want to leave to return to their life of solitude. I'm getting pretty heavy here so i better quit talking.

It's been all donut all the time on the Marmotblog recently. You should mix it up.
Say, with maple bars?
