We got no watching done today whatsoever. It's an outrage. Tuesday night, we were up a bit late watching Australian Open tennis, and last night, we went into town to pig out with Ricky (our most esteemed systems guru). Twice a year, there's a "dine about town" thing happening where a slew of fancy restaurants try to draw in extra people with a fixed price menu. It's way below what they'd usually charge, so we take advantage of that to check out new places. We're stuffed! :)
