I'm not dead.
I just wanted to make sure anyone who reads this (I think that number approaches zero after this much inactivity) wasn't getting any ideas about my untimely demise. I'm still quite alive and well.
As long as I'm writing here, I might as well put out a blurb saying how amazingly cool the hog roast I put on Saturday was. It was just spectacular! Me, Tavi, and Joe spit roasted a 164 lbs hog. We started the process of cooking the pig at 2 AM and kept cooking it till 4 PM. We might also of consumed a few cool and frothy beverages during taht time... Unfortuantly, when people started showing up at 4, the pig ended up not being done, so we ran it over to dining services and watched chef Reuban chop the pig into manageable pieces and then throw them in the oven. In the oven everything cooked in about an hour.
It was soooo good. Pulled pork is TASTY. It was also a lot of fun just hanging out with professors and their kids and everyone else in a totally relaxed setting. We'd pulled couches outside around the spit and everyone just sat around and joked and stuff. It was a lot of fun. I'm totally planning on doing it next year.
