Perhaps I can interest you in my other survival-related entries: http://jameystegmaier.com/tag/survival/

Somehow, against all odds, I persist. Have you ever had to go four days without hot water?! It’s hard!

I found this entry through Sarah’s website and it is HYSTERICAL! I might become a regular reader, just on the basis of this entry alone. Nice work!

Yes. What are you suggesting?
2. No, Wash U doesn’t sign my paychecks.
3. I’m not sure what this means, so I’ll say definitely yes.
4. Different loofahs.
5. Oh, I’ve read Hatchet. Way back in the day. Great book. Would have been even better if he didn’t have the option of walking to town for supplies.

My Questions:
1) It took you 3 days to add stovetop heated water to bath water?
2) Are you a a University Employee? If so, can’t you (as Ariel pointed out) go to the gym for free?
3) You switch into survival mode after the water has hit the belly button. Were you saved from the horror of iced junk?
4) Same Loofah?
PS. Recomend you read (or re-read) Hatchet, by Gary Paulson. I may still have a copy if you’d like to borrow it.

I suppose the neighbor calling you to alert you to the area of concern does not necessarily indicate he or she was bothered by the situation. I’m glad you survived. Although, for the future, can we agree that should you not make it through the next hot water outage, I get Biddy?

You face adversity head on and fully naked (pun intended), just as our ancestors did.

It was a tough couple of days, but we made it through. It was more difficult for Jess, considering the rampant, unnecessary nudity on my part.
