Doughnut to do list
As a confirmed Masshole and sweetaholic, I like my doughnuts. So imagine my excitement when I came across an article entitled, "America's Best Doughnuts." Huzzah! Like a pointer dog to a falcon, this article can point my ravenous maw in the right direction.
Thus imagine my pain when I read further and discovered that I was mere footsteps away from Vermont's best doughnuts mere days ago and I didn't eat one. Not one! I saw the doughnut shop and verily did i consider entering but I believe that on the first occasion it was closed and on the second occasion I was overheated and not feeling the doughnut love. Damn my delicate constitution!
Of course, much like any "best of" list, omissions will occur, mistakes will be made. But I prefer to think of such lists as guidelines anyway.
Oh my God. What if I planned my book readings around the locations of the doughnut stores listed? After all, I discovered that Northshire Bookstore (also very near where we vacationed in VT) is fabulous--exactly my kind of bookstore. If we return I can do a reading there and get the doughnuts I missed from Mrs. Murphy's. It's a win-win!
This is an excellent idea.

If you're serious about this book readings around doughnut store locations scheme, I know just the guy to help you out...
You could also go with book readings around hot dog stands or book readings around candy stores or book readings around street meat vendors--he could assist with those, too.

Big thumbs down to the hot dogs, but I see what you mean.
Your husband would be an invaluable research tool for doughnut tracking! I'm seeing a road trip in our future.

He's already started mapping out your route!
And maybe you shouldn't knock the hot dog folks--maybe they buy lots of books.
