Here's A Toast

Just under two weeks away from the birthday of Mr. Poe. With expectations of the toaster making an appearance year after year, the world has been let down for the last two now. If we do not receive word of an appearance this year then it may be safe to say that the tradition is over. Without a doubt, many more copycat toasters will come and go in the future, but the real tradition may very well be dead. I'll be keeping close watch on the 19th for a trio of roses and a bottle of cognac.
