Diane, I’m standing in the small town of Traverse City, Michigan.
They got a cherry pie that’ll kill ya!
But I think it’s safe to say we’re gonna need a bigger can…

I hate every photo of me I took here. That’s to be expected when I’m squirting a can of Reddi-Wip into my literal pie hole. I’ve never shot straight whipped cream before; it always seemed like a Hollywood fantasy that no one actually could do. But it’s surprisingly easy. A can was on sake at the local Family Fare grocery store. A shake and a flick and you can make it happen. As it’s happening it’s great. But man do I feel awful now. And looking back at the photos I just look like a fat kid with a giant pie tin. And I couldn’t find my travel mini tripod so everything’s shot on my iPhone using a makeshift duo-pod courtesy of my wallet. I look awful. But I had to justify all that whipped cream I stupidly shot up so I’m posting some of the photos anyway.
So much of my life these days seems to be efforts to justify my increasingly stupid decisions and actions.
Speaking of which, its 9:20 pm and I’m just about to have some dinner. I’m headed to bed thereafter (that’s great for the digestion right?) in anticipation of my 4 am alarm so I can drive the hour back up to Traverse City for tomorrow’s Bayshore Marathon.
On the plus side, I’ve solved the mystery of why it’s billed as the world’s largest specifically cherry pie pan – in 1987 they used it to make a cherry pie. I wonder where the world’s largest apple pie pan is?

FYI –
The World’s Largest Apple Basket is apparently in Frazeysburg, Ohio.
The World’s Largest Apple Pie was apparently in Jackson, Ohio.
