the absence

for the one person who might be following this, I have not already killed this blog. I have been unable to post from the Touch and I have had almost no access to computers since Friday morning. When I have power and am again living in at least the 20th, if not quite the 21st century, I'll get right back to the menu. Rest assured that even as I eat out of an igloo cooler this week, I am eating just as well as I was before this ungodly business began...

Washed back with two more Yuengling Beers
