I noticed yesterday that someone got here by doing a Google search for the term "pork butt." Now, thankfully, I’m not the number one result for this search, but I am on the first page. I also read this fantastic article in yesterday’s NTY Dining section about the New York restaurant scene’s current fascination with fat. Believe it or not, I have not eaten all of the dishes featured in the article, but I have managed to sample most of them over the years: the bo ssam at Momofuku Ssam Bar, the pig extravaganza at Daisy May’s BBQ (on Valentine’s Day, no less), the lardo pizza at Otto (and the lardo spread at Del Posto), the crispy pork with pickled watermelon at Fatty Crab, the sweetbreads at Prune, the deviled eggs on top of crispy pork jowl at Resto, and the roquefort burger and chicken liver toasts at the Spotted Pig. And, believe it or not, my cholesterol is just fine, thank you very much.

I hope to be this active for as long as I can. One of the reasons I started being this active is because (as you know) I was not much of an athlete as a child. I wanted to make it a habit that I keep up for the rest of my life. I’m sure the level of intensity will ebb and flow, but I’d love to go on a bike vacation for my 60th birthday (for example)!
Doug — aha! You were there with Gerald, eh?

And I hope that you can and will. I knew that I had a brilliant child!
