Where have a I been?

Sorry about the AWOL. The past month has been eventful, though most of the details are lost to the same current of time that's kept me from stepping aside to post. Some highlights:

meeting former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop

shadowing a plastic surgery resident for an afternoon

brewing a batch of beer and winning 2nd in a local homebrew contest with it

beginning work on a project to teach baking at a local Food Shelf

attending a lab meeting at the engineering school for a group working with orthopedic implants

roasting coffee, baking bread, and making stew

a bit of indoor rock climbing

an epic soccer match against the second year class, ending in an overtime shootout. We won and only took sending one person to the hospital for stitches!

Some trips to New Jersey and New York to see Nikki

working in the wood and jewelry workshops

Other than that, nothing but sleeping and studying. Having a pretty good time but time is rocketing by.
