Yes, I cracked the 4000 calorie level on Saturday. The beers didn't help, the batch of Long Island Ice Tea made by my wife's aunt (I guess she was trying to re-live her youth... it would have been rude to say no, right?), but the massive amount of ice cream cake for dessert was the literal icing on the... you know.

Sure it was melting all over the coffee table. And I WAS trying to help out by taking an extra large piece. But the 3rd piece was certainly unnecessary. Despite what I tracked, it was not an artificial-tasting Carvel special. It was from a local place called Maggie Moos and the cake was moist and delicious and the ice cream freshly made. There was little I could do to resist.

You'll be happy to know that the mess was limited due to my fast and decisive action. In a sense, just like the Founding Fathers, I was simply doing my duty. God Bless America.
