Cooks, bakers, war makers

By -Kehla West and Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, May 12,2004 9:09 p.m.

I'm back home, and living is good. I'm sleeping in, eating lots of Popsicles, and because I need money, I'm working at my family's restaurant.

Somehow this milestone collegiate event has become synonymous with a binge consumption of dairy products -- not that I'm complaining. The more cheese I stuff in my mouth, the less I have to think about finding a job.

By Brian Adkins · Sunday, May 9,2004 9:39 p.m.
