I don't know, we'll see, we have a pretty high standard for "drama!"
Those of you who eschew the book of faces is really missing out here.
Those of you who have book face should stay quiet
Did you guys happen to eat at the Clinton Station Diner? They have great food.
I love that you guys hit Clinton, NJ! I used to live there! Sweet little town. Hope you got to check out the downtown and the Old Red Mill.
