In Philadelphia this evening... I am on holiday from work this upcoming week. Following a red-eye flight (the only way to fly east; you lose a day either way...), I have been staying with my fiancee's parents in New Jersy. My brother, an architect working for Michael Graves in Princeton, threw a holiday party last night. (I held off on spreading paganism but, shall I admit it, got 'cused with my fiancee's little sister. Two flat tires on the "long" commute home.) This evening we went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Franklin Institute and ate pretty good (but not authentic Buffalo) wings at Moriarity's.

[Sidebar.] And Bush just made his "surprising" call to not leave Iraq. (Didn't see that one coming...)

Tomorrow we will be heading to Washington, D.c., to see the panda. Wednesday is wedding planning day; Thursday: NYC; Friday, my fiancee's parents and mine finally meet, believe it or not.

Blog later... (Finally found a high speed intenet connection; and Blogger is actually working...)
