my strangest legacy – in high school, for one reason or another (I can’t remember) my friends and I wrote “34 days until March 2nd” on the whiteboard in the drama classroom. It was completely arbitrary but we kept it it up, “30 days until March 2nd”  ”23 days until March 2nd” 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—a 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’ve done it. It’s become a school sponsored event. There are t-shirts for this thing every year. March 2nd is cake day. I am a god. 

my former teacher sent me a package. it’s the 10th anniversary this year. they’re already getting ready for march 2nd. it’s january.

“Chickens Helping The Elderly Tackle Loneliness”

A study by the University of Northumbria last September found that the male participants of HenPower all reported improved wellbeing and reduced depression and loneliness. In one dementia care home it found that since the hens had arrived violent incidents by residents were down by 50%, and the use of antipsychotic drugs was so reduced that they were no longer issued routinely.

Chickens doing wonders for senior citizens!
