What a difference two years makes...

By some strange twist of cosmic fate, Megan, Hub, Amy and I happened to be all in the same place at the same time on New Years Day, so we did what we always do... ate food. We had a glamorous meal at the Subway in the Kangroo gas station.

Like I said, glamorous.

And I'm going to post it. Ready?

Yes, this is Ari jumping down into water. Willingly.
