I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever been to one quite like this &#8230; while every aspect was sumptuous, it was also understated and dignified. It was great to hang out with old friends &#8211; including <a href=\"http:\/\/robotify.livejournal.com\/\">robotify<\/a>. Everyone&#8217;s life is proceeding along in its very own way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I&#8217;m on a train to Philadelphia (currently sitting under New York City) to rent a car and turn around and go to just North of Trenton for a day&#8217;s work tomorrow. Could be sort of a long day. Not sure yet. Tomorrow evening, back to Philly, return the car, and back on the train to Baltimore. Tu &#8211; Fri I&#8217;ll split between customers in Baltimore and customers in the area. Finally, I&#8217;ll hop on Southwest and fly back to Boston. While there&#8217;s a lot of complexity to the plan, I think that each leg is simple and straightforward. We&#8217;ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Baltimore, I hope to catch up with <a href=\"http:\/\/_earthshine_.livejournal.com\/\">_earthshine_<\/a>, as well as with my siblings. I&#8217;ll be staying at one of my favorite little bed and breakfasts: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinnat2920.com\/\">The Inn At 2920<\/a>. This is the place where they have a fishbowl in each room, and your check-in paperwork lets you know the name of the fish in your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My dad was up in Boston last week, and stayed with us in the new house. He went to Judo, like a trooper, and wore down a classmate 20 years younger than him. We also wandered to a bunch of museums and cooked an awesome fish dinner with <a href=\"http:\/\/capital_l.livejournal.com\/\">capital_l<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/technolope.livejournal.com\/\">technolope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, the house is finally coming together. We have a fully functional shower &#8211; though it doesn&#8217;t have a door on it yet. Eventually, we&#8217;ll have one of those schwank frameless glass doors. However, right now a tension rod and a plastic curtain work just fine. <a href=\"http:\/\/colortheory.com\/\">Painters<\/a> have a key to the house and will paint the bathroom and the laundry room in my absence. I love it when work gets done that I didn&#8217;t have to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attended a beautiful wedding for an old friend, in Newport RI this weekend.
