Today is the first Friday in June, and you know what that means. Yes, it’s National Doughnut Day!
Which brings me back to one of my earliest memories of wrestling with a philosophical conundrum. It was a time when I was a little kid, and my dad bought us donuts.
I remember staring at the donut, and trying to figure something out. “Dad,” I asked, “when you eat a donut, what happens to the hole?”
“Don’t worry,” he explained. “the ghosts eat them.”
I found that to be an excellent answer. Ever since then, I feel good every time I eat a donut, because I’m also feeding a ghost.
So you can understand why National Doughnut Day is my very favorite holey day.
