Wild pig recipes: Spicy Boar Chili, Wild Pig Meatloaf, Boaring Lasagna, and Honey-mustard Smoked Ham
A colleague and good friend from work, Jeff Meyer, made me a bet that I wouldn't actually find and kill a pig. The terms of the bet were that he would cook the pig and provide the beer for everyone at Centellax to enjoy. I'm not sure what I was supposed to do if I didn't get a pig, but, well, it didn't matter, did it?

Amelia walks 60 miles in the San Francisco 3-day Breast Cancer Walk
After a grueling 3-day 60-mile walk, Sara's sister Amelia is convinced that their ancestors were nomadic. No foot bandages, no shin splits, no tendonitis, Amelia powered through the walk without breaking a sweat. Okay, I made that last part up. She sweat a lot. Kinda stinky too.
