Big Pig Jig 2008

I'm on my way!

Been a while...

Sorry for the delay in posting. It's been a busy few weeks--a week in California breaking stories and starting to figure out the longer character arcs for season two. There has also been lots of work at the law school getting next semester's courses staffed and scheduled. (And of course there is my obsessive checking of Fivethirtyeight.com and pollster.com.) So sorry about that. It's my hope that I will return to a bit more personal blogging in the next few months.

For those of you that have written to be or posted comments about the show, thanks so much. It seems from an initial bout of skepticism, there is a growing sense of approval and appreciation, which, of course, I greatly appreciate. So thanks for your thoughts and comments.

Tonight, I'm off to South Georgia for the "Big Pig Jig" a massive BBQ competition that my friend Pete (a proud member of the "prime time swine" BBQ team) describes as "redneck mardi-gras." Should be a pork-filled load of fun. I'll post pictures if I can, and meanwhile, enjoy the RTB marathon monday where TNT will show every episode back to back...

Paperwork can take a while. So I wonder whether they'll deport him on, say, November 6th or so.
