What's that? You didn't realize I was gone? Did I not tell you I was going to Pennsylvania for a week? Oops, my bad.
So I was in Pennsylvania for a week. And there were things.
+ Much food was consumed, talked about and procured. It's my family, that's what we do.
+ We took a walking tour of the city of Lancaster. Our guide Bill wore knee britches. Tres chic.
+ Multiple people told me it looked like I'd lost weight.
+ I gained a few pounds.
+ A 5:30 dinner reservation, while seemingly time appropriate for Lancaster County is, in fact, too early and your family will be the only one in the restaurant for at least a half an hour.
+ The inflate-a-bed makes my sister have unequal body temperature distribution, about which she will bitch. A lot.
+ When you spend $400 to only spend 4.5 hours in a class room over a 48 hour period, you get a little bitter.
+ Hanging with the Librarians Gone Wild (look for them on the Amazing Race...sometime) makes a three hour dinner seem not so long.
+ I miss cable tv.
+ The Pittsburgh Airport Gap was having a sale.
+ Thru some fluke of abnormal sizing I bought a size 12 skirt.
+ I gained another pound or two.
+ 5 hours is really too long to spend in the Pittsburgh Airport, even with the mall.
+ You can only spend 1 hour max looking at books at the Hudson Booksellers before the staff starts looking at you funny.
+ Jodi Picoult writes the perfect plane book.
+ 45 minutes is too long to sit in an un-airconditioned plane on a runway.
+ 10 minutes is too short a time to be in the Philadelphia airport.
+ Why did I fly east just to land for 10 minutes, run a quick marathon and then fly immediately west?
+ Luggage is incapable of completing a long sprint and will instead insist on staying in Philly and enjoying the nightlife.
+ US Air has no idea of their flight schedules.
+ I may have possibly stolen my own luggage from baggage claim.
+ Exercised-induced foot drop make for some funny walking.
+ I've decided my epithet of choice will be "Sweet Fancy Moses!" Feel free to steal it. We'll start a trend.
+ Everyone in my family has a new (used) car but me. Sad.
+ If you have orange kayaks, you cannot buy a red station wagon. This is apparently a law of some type.
So, that happened. No yarn-related activities but a goodly amount of stuff.

Wow. Sounds like an adventure. :-)
My epithet of choice is "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick!" but the Dead Milkmen came up with that one. I doubt they mind if anyone uses it.
Luggage, by the way, has a mind of its own. Mine randomly visits family members. I go to there houses, and there's the luggage I've been looking for for three months but couldn't find forcing me to use Wal-mart sacks. It's a mystery.
Sounds like you enjoyed yourself, as did your luggage. I would rather be in Philly than Lancaster too!
Love the post.
Congrats on the size 12 skirt! I am envious.
I hope your luggage is ok after its round in Philly.
Welcome back!
Welcome home!! Sounds like a fair bit of adventure in one week. I've heard if you have a red station wagon, blue kayaks are usually the best way to go. I'm sure Lucy's happy to have you back!
