today, my former colleague cory filled me in on one more place that i should look. but as much as i appreciate the tip, the day is nearly over. oh well, there's always next year.

and if you have no idea what king cake is, see the photo on the left (and yes, that is a plastic baby on top of it). normally the plastic baby is baked inside. whoever finds it is "king or queen for a day" and it is considered good luck.
