my strangest legacy - in high school, for one reason or another (I can\u2019t remember) my friends and I wrote \u201c34 days until March 2nd\u201d on the whiteboard in the drama classroom. It was completely arbitrary but we kept it it up, \u201c30 days until March 2nd\u201d \u00a0\u201d23 days until March 2nd\u201d etc. It spread around enough that the entire school is buzzing about what is going to happen on March 2nd. We figure we should think of something and decide to bring in cake. There were about 13 of us in total committed to bringing a cake. On March 2nd, during 3rd period lunch we all entered the cafeteria in a line (the parade of the cakes) and laid them out\u2014a grand cake buffet for everyone in that lunch period. We did it the next year. And after we graduated it kept going.

This past March 2nd was the 9th year they\u2019ve done it. It\u2019s become a school sponsored event. There are t-shirts for this thing every year. March 2nd is cake day. I am a god.\u00a0
