Bought kona hawaii coffee at House of Coffee. Pancake breakfast at home with Chris, Nate, Dave, Quyen, Drew, Richard, Romy, Sandip. Chris and Nate brought a bottle of Gloria Ferrer Va De Vi Ultra Cuvée sparkling wine to share. I made egg nog pancakes with pork sausages. Mimosas and other drinks. Home-baked chocolate-peppermint cookies. Playlist included Barbra Streisand "Christmas Album," Gaucho "Deluxe," Lofty's Roach Souffle, Madeline Peyroux "Autumn in New York," Smoking Time Jazz Club, Squirrel Nut Zippers "Christmas Caravan," and Vince Guaraldi Trio "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Drew took away the Christmas wreath I had been trying to sell—hooray! Cleaned. Weight training: advanced one-legged push ups. Registered my bike with National Bike Registry. Registered my bike with Dahon to upgrade from a 5-year limited warranty to a lifetime limited warranty. Dinner at home: baked panko-encrusted Dover sole, TJ's sweet potato fries. Weight training: various advanced one-legged push-ups, experimented with assisted one-arm push-ups—not quite there yet.
