Ice cream victory
E-mail I received shortly before work today: "Congratulations! Your Dreyer's/Edy's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute contest entry has been selected as a grand-prize winner!"
Exclaimation points for everyone. That's right, ice cream fans. My essay about my neighborhood ("My neighborhood is my elevator") is apparently one of 1,500 nationwide winners of an neighborhood ice cream party. The Edy's people are ready to give me the ice cream, and all I have to do now is let them know I indeed want it.
There's paperwork to be signed and notarized. Is this work a formality? Is it more? Do people really turn down free ice cream? Who are these people and why are they so crazy?
I'm not sure yet how to deal with the winnings. They consist of "Door-step Delivery of Twelve (12) cartons of Edy's Slow Churned Light ice cream" and "One (1) 'Party In A Box' (napkins, ice cream scoops, spoons, name tags, disposable camera, etc.)" A party in a box. That's a solid phrase. But are 12 cartons of ice cream not party enough?
How do I serve ice cream in an elevator?
