A Missive From the City of Brotherly Love

It's Saturday afternoon, and I just got back from Philadelphia last night. (I decided to leave a day early because I was worried about the weather. I found out what a true Southerner I am over the last few days as I spent most of my time in Philly commenting on the shear number of people in the city, how cold it was and how hard it was to find wine.)

I also wanted to say, that as odd as it may sound, I had a great time in Philadelphia. Susan is in a great mood. She looks awesome for someone in congestive heart failure, and she is surrounded by truly caring, wonderful doctors and nurses. They are taking excellent care of her, and she is taking excellent care of herself. I have no doubt that her new heart will come very soon and that she will be better before we know it.

Freddie also seemed to be doing really well. I think he might have a slightly unnatural love for Bob, Susan and Freddie's new Corgi, but I'd be throwing stones in a glass house if I was to point out anyone else's overzealous adoration of a pet.
