Specifically, I’ve only been eating every imaginable meat, cheeses, nuts, and salads.  While I don’t really remember how I got home AND forgot to say goodbye to anyone (including my wife and the person the party was being thrown for) I have lost 9 pounds in 7 days and vodka and soda water with a slice of orange isn’t half bad.

P.S.S. – Last night, I somehow lost (imagine that) the grossly huge and green Tom Ford glasses seen above. Thus, they won’t be making another appearance.  John, I feel your disappointment 300 miles away.
