Twas a Night Filled with Bacon

I miss Carnegie Mellon so much.  Well, let me rephrase that: I miss the people of Carnegie Mellon and how awesome all of them were.   Since I am in Pittsburgh, I have been able to see some fellow yinzers and the other CMU folks that have found gainful employment/graduate school in the 'burgh.

It is amazing how phenomenal their lives are, what they are doing, and how they are working to change the world.  Moreso, it's amazing that we all are able to set aside political, socio-economic and geographic differences to come together for the love of bacon.

Harris Grill, in Shadyside, has a bacon night on Tuesday.  It's unlimited, free bacon.  And cheap Yuengling.  Seriously, that combined with a Carnegie Mellon reunion is pretty friggin' amazing.

Jane and I were able to set up a time to meet and with a few text messages, 7 other CMU alums were able to pop into the bar.



It's always sad to realize that the people you saw are going to be disbursed throughout the nation/world in just a few days.  But, it's pretty cool to realize that there will always be the chance to come together and eat bacon.

Except for our Jewish friends.  Sorry Dana!
