I love cake. It’s just that simple. Cake is by far my most favorite food and I could (and sometimes do) eat it every day. I complain that I can’t avoid it because I have two school aged boys that get invited to many birthday parties, but I (not so secretly) enjoy it. I have a horrible fear of clowns. When I see a clown, the blood drains out of my face and I feel an overwhelming urge to run far far away. With these two facts about me in mind, you can only imagine how messed up I feel when I see the clown ice cream cakes in the freezer of my local ice cream parlor. I always forget about that display during the winter, but the heat is rising and the kids want ice cream. Time for frozen yogurt.

Two years after the passing of his wife, Henry gradually faces the realization that the relationships of his lifetime have disappeared to either death or senility, and discovers his place as a burden in the logistic and financial life of his now smaller family.
With slipping morals and mind, Henry dabbles in the proliferation of potent prescriptions while he is relieved of his responsibilities and worldly possessions.
