Well Summer has been flying by. I turn around and the month of June is gone. I've been keeping busy with my job, my math class, family commitments, and trying to cut into my summer reading list. So far I've been able to read a few of the classics, however, the other day I went into the library and told myself that I wouldn't go looking for more books to read because I already had a stack 6 deep at home. Walking past the new book section I caught the title of a book I have been looking forward to reading so I picked it up, then another and another, all told 8 books total. So that brings my summer reading list up to 20 so far. Not so sure that I'll get through all those before the end of August.

I just finished the book that started the avalanche of new books, entitled "Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student" by Anonymous M.D. This book deals with how young people in todays society are fed "politically correct" information regarding sex, personal choices, and prevention that can cost them their health if not their lives. I found this book extremely interesting, horrifying, and sad all at the same time. Since I will soon be in a profession which is contributing to the PC spin I guess I need to start gearing up for battle and this book provided some good ammo to lob the first round in my STD health class.

On to happier topics I've been tackling some daunting grilling projects. Last week I slow cooked some hickory smoked St. Louis spareribs and this Saturday I'm going to tackle a pork shoulder. If your in the area and would like to stop in for dinner around 6 p.m. let me know, their should be enough of this monster to go around. For those of you who can't make it you'll be able to see the step by step process posted here shortly after completion (sorry but I can't figure out how transport samples over the Internet).

Also for those of you who don't know I'm a big geek. To prove this point I paid a trip to the new superheroes museum here in Indy. Focusing on Batman and Superman this exhibited only 1/4 of a someones personal collection of memorabilia. It was complete with a full scale replica of the batmobile and I left this fun little museum with a poster of the batmoblie to hang on my new apartment wall. Yeah for me.
