More and more at home; we put up our long-awaited floating shelves and got black and white photography on them and now the front room looks awesome. Putting up the shelves brought the disheartening revelation that our wall is about as straight as a Philly politician.
Speaking of Philadelphia, city of brotherly love, graft, and cheesesteaks, we were there yesterday. It was awesome. We started (and ended) at Reading Terminal Market for lunch (and dinner) and some gourmet browsing. We found a great Thai shop, a great Mexican shop, and myriad Penna Dutch and authentic Philly cheesesteakeries. In between trips through the market, we did some shopping. We found a lampshade that is, without question, the best/coolest item we've ever seen. And it was on sale. We saw most of Center City and much of Old City, then headed north, past a (we later found out) shooting scene, and up to trendy Chestnut Hill, which I think we'll visit again in the warm season.
Tomorrow is the celebration of Martin Luther King's birthday, which we'll honor with a little downhill skiing.
