Happy Birthday to Kent! I got to speak to him on his birthday and it seems like all is well. The big 25 - what a day! You know this means you are a quarter century old. Halfway through your twenties, and halfway to fifty. All scary thoughts.

On a sidenote, my flight was only delayed 55 minutes tonight - a relatively shorter delay of the 100% delay streak I have on my six weeks up here in Philly.

I had dinner with Rob D. tonight in Philly. It has been a while since I saw him, so it was good to catch up. We went to an Italian place, and then he took me to a local ice cream place that was really good. It was a good break from eating with work folks, even though they are nice. Rob is planning a trip to Morocco by himself. Should be fun.

Happy Birthday Carter! I'm looking forward to meeting up for your birthday. I feel like I hardly ever see you or the other guys anymore. Should be fun!

Now off to the slow, slow, Philly airport for me.
