From the sublime to Philadelphia

After the magnificence of Manhattan in beautiful sunshine yesterday, today Danielle and I went into Philadelphia. Rowan had a day with Royce. The contrast could not have been greater, rain and wind [including one bizarre hurricane blast for 15 seconds that blew us off the sidewalk] and the downbeat mediocrity of Philadelphia. We went to Danielle’s old trendy haunts on South Street – amazingly some are still there, but most are not – and had a good time wandering around.
Ben and Kari are en route from Washington tonight; when they arrive we will have a full house of nine, all ready for Xmas.
