Oh, was that yours? Sorry, it was just sitting there in the fridge hidden in the back of the bottom crisper drawer, behind a bunch of old vegetables, stuffed inside three PathMark bags, covered in Post-It notes reading _“Property of **Cicero**! Do NOT Effing Touch!”_ and I didn’t know it was yours. S’cool…I got’cha on the next beer run. 😉 ---
