Dear Members and Constituents.
The other day I saw an Elkaholic bumper sticker on a
pick-up truck. Clever, but how did the suffix “holic” come to be associated
with addictions? While an alcoholic is addicted to alcohol, a workaholic is not
addicted to workahol, nor is a chocoholic addicted to chocohol. If I told you I
was a horseholic you would intuitively understand my affinity for equines. What
if I told you I sit across from a Tracy Holick? And then there’s donuts. Would
you call a donut addict a donuholic? Perhaps not, as this might imply they are
addicted to the donut holes. A donutic? I suppose it depends on their fervor.
Whatever you choose to be called, Kelly Becker (donut girl) provides a
selection worthy of the name. So come nurture your habit. You know you want it.
Happy Friday!
