My good friend and former colleague Matt Hill once said to me, "I don't have anything to say, why am I going to start a blog?" I'm glad to say that a few years on, he has changed his mind. Matt has a writing style that is fun to read (even when it's serious) and makes fine use of an expansive vocabulary while remaining accessible to even the non-academic reader (that's me). Over at his blog, A Monkey for All Seasons, he just published a three part meditation on Porcus Sanctus, or for those of you that don't speak fake Latin, The Holy Pig. In his powerful triplicity on pork, you find, among other anecdotes, one of my favorite stories, that of the "All Pork Christmas." If you enjoy what you read, leave a comment, what with the economy and all, we don't see much of those around these parts anymore...saludos Mateo!!!

Wow, nice picture. They'll probably think I'm some sort of retarded genius, the kind that can't wipe his own butt, but that can mentally decode the human genome. Did you see the smiley face on the plate, though? Pure genius, even if I am a mental case.
I tried to find the picture of us watching Citizen Kane but I couldn't, this was the next best picture I had of you (since I already posted the one where you're studiously sitting at your desk) and it showed that you have a way with food. If you want I can change the picture.
No, leave it. It's the real me, for good or bad.
That's me in the black shirt with my head cut off. I remember the dinner but not the smiley face. It's a great picture of Matt showoing his artistic abilities. You've got talented friends.
