This “LOVE” sign is a familiar sight around Philadelphia. ”The City of Brotherly Love” will become “The City of Married Love” this weekend! JPJD arrives this afternoon and I can hardly contain my excitement. I think I’ve told everyone I know here (which is a small number of people, but still).
I’ve been working away at my first research memo this week, resulting in many good “conversations” with former presidents. I’m in 2011 now (I started in 1630) and am working my way through President Obama and the 2012 Republican Primary Candidates. After about a hundred more speeches, I’ll do some editing, formating, and provide some “interesting observations” before sending it off. It’s a major accomplishment.
And then, let the weekend commence! We have plans for Independence Hall (maybe stream National Treasure on Netflix, too, just to set the scene?), the “Betsy Ross” House, Philadelphia Museum of Art, cheesesteaks, ice skating at Penn’s Landing, beer & mussels with AC and significant other, a lecture on Nixon at the school, church, Philly Restaurant Week, and watching tonight’s Republican debate together on cable (this is a big deal, people). Oh, and sleeping in my tiny twin bed. But I don’t think that will be a problem.
