• @HIRH Dinner was so yummy; so full! @tracibabe did an amazing job with dinner, all I did was get to play with the 400 degree peanut oil.
• Surprisingly, I’m now very hungry. Awaiting the return of @tracibabe from her Festivus gift pick-up mission to get some lunch.
• post turkey-day recovery looked like it was going to be a lot worse last night. heading out to York tonight with friends.
