We are the Champions!

Joe came for a whirlwind visit to Philadelphia. It was great to hang out, as we do once every few years. Bonnie, Marvin, Joe and I all went out for a nice dinner last night. This morning Joe was running his Hawaii photography production company from here in Philadelphia via cellphone, as I was packing my stuff for trips to Virginia, San Francisco and Lake Tahoe. We had a philly cheesesteak lunch at the Art Museum Restaurant (yum!) and then ventured by foot over to Rittenhouse and South Street.

On the way home, we had to stop over to the Art Museum where we each took a dash up the steps and played champion for a split moment of glory, like Rocky Balboa once did back in the 1980's. I don't know if that was my initiation to Philadelphian citizenship, or if it just permanently branded me as tourist, merely passing through temporarily on the swervy road of life!

After Joe took off, I met up with Emily and we hit the gym then went over to White Dog Cafe for dinner and hot apple cider toddies. mmmmm! We decompressed from the semester and are preparing for each of our visits to see family down south. In the morning I'll load up the car and go see Mom and Dad. I can't believe Christmas is here, already!

I spoke to Justine tonight and am counting down the days until I head out to SF. She's going home to see her folks and then both of us arrive in SF on the 3rd. Perfect timing! I'm looking forward to it. Hurray, vacation!
