Big Cheat

Today is an epic cheat-meal day on par with Thanksgiving: it's Jack's BBQ party! Jack builds his own house, breeds parrots and exotic birds, can teach talking birds to say anything, is my metalsmithing instructor, is a mokume gane innovator, collects mutant irises, breeds them, collects wild orchids and cultivates them, makes wildberry champagne, and does aurora photography in the winter. That's just in the time I've known him. Wrap it all up in a soft-spoken, hilarious, transplanted Texan and he is one of my favorite people ever. One of the restaurants downtown was getting rid of a deep fryer so Jack carted it off and transformed it into a barbecue. Now he and his wife have students over for potlucks with tons of people and great food.
