The forest at night stirs strange feelings in me, even despite the cold I feel warm, safe, like the forest is some primeval womb. The stars are so much brighter then I'm used to.

Alright, things are returning to normal, our third cook is back from vacation, so we can finally stop busting our asses, and return to a more leasurely sort of work. So maybe I'll actually be around a bit more, because I won't be spending every spare moment you know, sleeping.

We live in an age when art and the things of the spirit come last. The truth still holds, however, that through dedication and devotion one achieves another kind of victory. I mean the ability to overcome one's problems, not meet them head on.

"Serve life and you will be sustained. That is a truth which reveals itself at every turn of the road.

"I...

Last night at the bar a strange middle aged woman with braces was either trying to pick a fight with us, or hit on us, I'm not sure which.

She babbled something about kicking Devon, to which he said "Now, why would you want to do that, I'm just sitting here minding my own buisness." She told him he had an attitude and then told...

Alright, time for a real update, things have changed a lot in the past week. Chef Mike, the born again christian boss that I always had trouble with is gone, the owner has decided to give the 21 year old sous chef, Josh the top position. This makes me 2nd in command, tons more responsibility, tons more time, but we get to plan the menu....
