Just arrived in Philly for the work week with Emily. Friend Libbie joined me, Mark is here,(he came Friday), Kathleen is joining us Wed night. Should be a good week. Emily’s tired so I don’t think she’ll be too bad of a slave driver. Libbie and I need a break; camp has been busy. It was a good week actually, but the health center was busy.
Watching a movie tonight in Em’s theater.
we’re all looking forward to hearing your all’s first entry. Paddle on!
