American flag on Main street in Manayunk, where I had lunch yesterday.
3 weekends ago: Frankki and I at a hip restaurant in DC. We spent the next day walking around beautiful DC and Georgetown with our dear friend Kirk.
Sam and I visit Philly's Japanese garden in Fairmount park...
Two weekends ago: 180 mile relay race from Woodstock NY to the Bronx. (This is a picture of van #2 before our first set of legs)
Van #2 in the middle of the second leg...wow - running by yourself in the middle of the night without lights except the stars above you and the ones attached to your body is pretty amazing.
Van #2 before our third and last set of legs...everyone is feeling pretty tight and funky by this point in the race.
Victorious team finish...we have yet to discover how tired and sore we actually are. 181 miles in 25h 40min!
This weekend: Catherine and Sam walk along the Forbidden Drive
...and skipping stones...to varying degrees of competency...
Look! Cat got her ears pierced yesterday for the first time! I went to the best place in Philly where workers had metal balls implanted in their arms to look more reptilian, tattoos under their hair and on their faces, and of course tremendous discs in their earlobes. The woman piercer who did my ears seemed was very friendly! She moved to Philly a year ago from CA since Infinity Piercing is famous and it was a good career move...
