Would you buy an ice cream cone from this man?

I wouldn't.  Fortunately, today was Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day, so no one had to consider shopping with me.

Not that I was selling ice cream, mind you.  I spent the afternoon running various errands I could no longer put off.  Near the end of those tasks, I realized both that it was free ice cream day and I was two minutes away from a Ben & Jerry's store.  Having never been able to take advantage of this treat before, I could not pass it up.

My tiny cup of Cherry Garcia, one of the all-time great ice cream flavors, was delicious.  Despite a long line that never vanished, the people serving us were relentlessly nice and cheerful.

It was a lovely break on a weekday, and one I heartily recommend should you have the opportunity to take it.
