an ode to bacon

mmm i'm getting pretty good at breakfast. ran the oktoberfest 5k yesterday and one of the best things of the day was the smell of bacon coming from old boy's brewery ... so i had to treat myself to a nice brunch the next day. and yes. i did consume the bacon fat to 6 pieces of bacon.
