Good Afternoon, Class

Between Philadelphia and Delaware may lie some of the bumpiest freakin' roads in the history of roads. I doubt the Silk Road and the Oregon Trail to have been so uneven and pockmarked.

 

We stayed with Zach's great-aunt across the bridge from Philly, and his cousin Rich took us into Philadelphia, where we spent the evening entertained by Ms. Ivie and Ms. Lulu, owner and bartender of the upscale Italian eatery Sovalo, who also happen to be professional hula-hoopers (the proferred nomenclature is Hooper). 2 AM Wednesday morning, we were drinking gin and tonics, hula-hooping the night away. It was sweet.

 

We presented out (mis)adventures to a class of 55 entrepreneurship students at the University of Delaware. We stayed with Becca Zweig and her 4 sorority sisters near campus. Although there was no hula-hooping, there was good fun, and a reconnecting of long-lost 'cousins.' We broke the gutter of some establishment next to Becca's, and spent the morning 'fixing' it; the quotes are because we fixed nothing, only cosmetically solved the issue.

 

We awoke promptly at 11, ate bagels, and worked on the gutter and some Passion stuff. We ate again, buffalo chicken cheese steaks, and now drive towards Oakton, VA, home of the Dean Pollock Clan, where we will be imposing this weekend. Looking forward to photographing some monuments rarely photographed, in DC, such as that one to Lincoln, and whatnot.
