Pig on a spit

Some said that it may be the greatest thing that anyone has ever done but I don't want to blow it out of proportion. 


Amanda turned 37 and decided that I should celebrate by cooking a pig on a spit. 24 hours in a brine, trips to replenish the melting ice bath every 5 hours, 5 hours of roasting, 400 degrees on a small apartment balcony and I was as shocked as anyone that it was phenomenal. The logistics were such that I will never do this again, but I can't wait to do it again.

Conference-call- clashes

It seems that A and I only get a 30 min window for dinner these days. Each day we have to review our evening schedule of conference calls to try and find a slot for dinner. We each come to the table with the latest management speak however I can't compete with Amanda's company.

I have hard-stops and I had my first lens today however nothing resonates with me, nobody has a bi-lateral conversations and nobody is pinging me!
