Birthdays: Michelle and Mae Etesa

I'm putting this here for posterity's sake. I sent this email earlier today. As a tease to remind Michelle and Mae Etesa (friends and colleagues, both) of their promised ice cream treat for their birthdays. Please don't think that I'm only after the food. I also sent them real birthday greetings.

TIME CHECK
It's three minutes before eleven.

TODAY
For the year that was
For the year ahead

At NOON
When the clock strikes twelve

For the ICE CREAM that will fill us after lunch
For what they mean
For what they don't

THANK YOU
Mitch and Mae
Feed the hungry
And you will never be hungry

  1. Is there some kind of "code" hidden in this message? I cant stop thinking about:
