Willow Grove, PA (USA)

Thought I would have some time to explore today, but it never happened. After I woke up (0800), I ate a quick breakfast in the lobby (met Wade's mother-in-law, daughter and his dog). Then I went over to the hanger - intending to get a few things done and then head out for a visit to downtown Philadelphia. Instead, I got involved in some flight schedule changes, had to stop off at the hotel to get my Boss' phone chargers and had some long talks with Wade, Chip, Kevin and other folks who were there for drill weekend. By the time I knew it, it was already 1130. Since they were planning to have a pot-luck meal anyway, I decided to hang out at least that long. Took care of more work emails until 1300, when the deep fried turkey and ham were ready. Food was awesome - lots of it, too. I had some good conversation with the guys from my trip to Sicily (see AUG 2010) and ended up staying until 1530. By then, the day was nearly over (it gets dark here at 1645!!!) and I decided not to go anywhere. Played some video games in my room, watched football and ate a light dinner. Did a little packing for my flight and ended up going to bed aroun 2300.
