Almost a month in Philadelphia was enjoyed by my friends, family and self but without a single picture taken by yours truly. So, what I have are memories, and these are they.
My Philadelphia-based family purchased an illustrious apartment home in Center City. It is the right space at the right price and should improve their quality of life considerably, particularly with a growing daughter. Their daughter, incidentally, is swell. During my stay, I helped them move the three-and-a-half blocks or so from the old location to the new. If they were any more centrally located they’d be sleeping in City Hall. I love it!

Counting also the free WiFi and last but not at all least a snack bag packed by my big sister early this morning, I couldn’t ask for more today. As for tomorrow, I may want more from the universe. Not too much, just my comeuppance.
