Craig's list.

Very glad I got to see Pliskin while I was in the Philadelphia area. While we didn't do a whole lot, we had a great time. In fact, I would say the "activitimetric fun density" (defined, of course, as fun per unit of distint and/or interesting activity) was higher than many other things I've done recently.

Craig's mom is great. She's got that combination of Jewish-mother-conceredness (particularly for feeding people), sarcastic humor, young-thinking "coolness," and overall nicety that is hard to come by in parents. Craig's friends are very much how I expected them: sports fanatics who love to bust each other's balls at every opportunity.

We watched a helluva lot of football: college games most of Saturday afternoon, and the Eagles game on Sunday.

I got to eat a genuine cheese steak. It was huge. It was delicious.

I made some cash playing poker till 3 in the morning. My new style will be that I can't start playing until I've had at least 3 beers.
