<para xml:id="p1">My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just
enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate—that's my
philosophy.</para>

<para xml:id="p2">From our local news, arts, and entertainment weekly,
<link xlink:href="http://www.valleyadvocate.com/">The Valley Advocate</link>,
comes word of
<link xlink:href="http://www.itzahckret.com/icecreamforbreakfast.html">International
Ice Cream for Breakfast Day</link>.  This year it’s the 7th of February.</para>

<para xml:id="p3">Speaking as someone who occasionally talked his father into letting him
<emphasis>have</emphasis> ice cream for breakfast (it’s like milk, it’s got calcium,
it’s good for you!), this is a holiday I can whole-heartedly support!</para>

<para xml:id="p4">Chocolate? Rum raisin? Mint Chocolate Chip? Pistachio? Vanilla?
<emphasis>French</emphasis> Vanilla? Cantaloupe? (Yeah, if I could
<emphasis>find</emphasis> any!) It’s a good thing I’ve got a week to decide!</para>
