Today’s Business: 2009-07-01
Mom drove me to Altoona to get the train to Philadelphia. It left on time, at 9:49 AM, and arrived at 30th street station in Philly at 2:50 PM. I just love five-hour train rides. They used to bore me. But now, with the iPod, Victor Reader Stream, my cell phone, and naps to keep me occupied, the ride has become quite pleasant in my middle age. I reached [Jack's] place just off of City Avenue at around 4:15 PM.
We talked about the foot party coming up tomorrow, went to Allegro’s for supper, and then hung out at his place, social networking throughout the evening while drinking pop.
Unlike my last two visits here in May and June, we had no rain during the day, although there were a few isolated thunderstorms overnight.
