I am indeed on my way to the states, to the hearth- and heart-land. My only problem is that, when I was in Singapore dining at the black angus, I noticed a sign on the tables, informing their clientelle that since Singapore had instituted a blanket ban on US beef products, the fine products they normally serve were being replaced by australian meat instead. Interested, I asked the waitress if she could tell any difference between the former US meat and the current Aussie meat.
"Definitely," she said, "for the same weight, the american meat is much much bigger." It turns out that Aussie cows are denser than their american cousins, which I consider to be a tactical advantage, allowing me to consume more mass more easily.
So you can see my reluctance to return home. But return I will, to the States and to the midwest, where I'm scheduled to be in mid-july. Just in time for the "unveiling".

I'm holding my breath, I can tell you.
