Didn't forget

I'm still here in the preliminary phases of Phase II: Ca$hville.
Rejoined Climb Nashville
Bought stone ground rye, whole wheat, and KA Bread flour to bake with this next week. I need to make my third starter since the last became a stinking orange crater after a week's neglect. I may make two, one for all rye sourdough, and one for everything else.

Wikipedia has taken up a lot of my free time, and all of my time is free at the moment. So far I've learned that:
the tongue map showing zones of taste ability on the tongue's surface is a myth
since 1987 the Library of Congress has maintained annually expands a list of culturally or aesthetically important films which include Boyz in Da Hood, and a 43 second scene of actors portraying blacksmiths in the 19th century, shot in the 19th century, who stop working and take a sip of beer.
there exists a fruit, the miracle fruit, that when eaten causes sour things to taste sweet for around an hour afterwards. Or sweet things to taste sour, I forget which. Nope it's sour to sweet because the Japanese use the extract, miraculin, as a non-sugar sweetener.
I've also read about the cambodian killings fields, the copenhagen consensus, The Skeptical Environmentalist, Oliver North, the Fifth Ammendment to the Constitution, the Soviet Underground Press samizdat, icelandic food, the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama.

I'm here for now

back from a Hanover hiatus, I'm resurrecting this blog for my use as a means of accountability for my grandiose plans. this is my ever dimishing year of freedom before a lifetime of work and so I will spend it like it's my last. I tried a traditional style curriculum of nontraditional subjects in Hanover, and for a variety of reasons have moved on. Right now on the back burner: are beer brewing, fly fishing, competitive eating, and jewelry making. Results: 4 beers, 1 wee fishy, a 4th place krystal placing, and a polite ejection from the jewelry workshop for not being a student. The plan now is to return to Nashville, take classes in Tango, Salsa, Guitar, and Italian. Keep baking, cooking climbing, reading, drawing, carving, ecorche-ing. Planning an adventure starting January. More later. good start.
