In West Philadelphia, born and raised…

I guess when you go on vacation with your webserver administrator, and shit breaks, you’re kind of stuck until he has time to fix it.

Yo! We’re in Philadelphia! Thus far, we’ve had no major or minor mishaps. We safely navigated our way from NYC to Philly. We’ve not gotten major-lost (only one wrong turn) and now we’re ready to rocket off to DC.

In New York, we stayed with the lovely Chris K, who lives not two blocks from Allison Darling Lyman. So I got to see her. In fact, I got to accompany her to a job interview, which she totally got.

At a bar, I played Sopranos pinball, and it was excellent. Win has shaved off the crazy date-rape ‘stash he had been sporting for the Grinnell reunion. I was relieved.

So, now we’ve seen Philly, thanks to Meg and Hannah. We got too drunk, we slept on various states of floor, we walked around, we ate gelato, we sat in the park, we went to Whole Foods and then made the most delicious sit-around-an-outside-table ever.

No word from Angela, so I will just assume that my cat is both alive and well.

Today, we’re off to D.C. My plan is to track down my cousin Kathleen and her amazing, fun family. I’m not going to lie. I cannot wait to see the unsinkable Molly Vu. I miss having cool kids around.

I have to go pack up the car now. Bye.
