catching a red-eye to philly tonight.  yep.

so it's a surprise 70th birthday thingy for an aunt on my dad's side - aunt anna.  dad and bro are flying in tomorrow afternoon, and then we'll all form up like voltron for the dinner party.  should be pretty cool - i haven't seen these relatives since my grandmother on my dad's side passed away - 11 years ago - freshman year in college.  yeah...

 

the only bummer is that one of my best buddies - jonathan snow - is actually in san diego this weekend for work.  absolutely ridiculous!  i'm always flying out to dc for this or that, but the one time he actually comes out here, and i'm out of town.  it's all good though - he doesn't fly out til tuesday morning, so we'll have to tear it up a lil bit on sunday and monday.  yeh!
