Natalia and I are back in Salem until Saturday visiting everyone before we head off on our great South American adventure. So far it has been a blast -- meeting Meghan's new cat, Whiskey, and having dinner every night at Brett and Evan's. Last night we ended up eating after 10pm because the pasta and green beans had to share the boys' one big pot. Delicious! Followed it up with some Boggle -- we are all getting very proficient. It's making me very excited for spring semester! OH, and Brian's article in the Collegian was fantastic -- just a teaser, but the (extremely awesome) phrase "unholy gumbo" makes an appearance.

Brian, maybe to save me the trouble of typing it up on the blog for everyone to read, perhaps you could copy & paste it instead?
