The arrival of Peeps on store shelves reminded me that this is the time of year when I have traditionally organized the CAN-AM Candy Exchange. Unfortunately, due to a series of incredibly, insanely strict deadlines between now and early April, I am unable to take the time out to deal with it. For those who have enthusiastically participated in the past, my apologies.

If anyone wants to take over my duties, I’d be happy to point them to the past threads (which contain the rules) and explain how I matched everyone up.

Sorry guys, I suck.

Just a reminder in case anyone feels called to carry the torch.
