vacation

hey all

the weather is good. the entire city has come out of a slumber and rittenhouse square is full of cheerful people. there is an energy again and the winter blues have melted away. birds chirping, flowers blooming, sun shining thank God for spring and u2 (sidenote). yesterday stephanie and i went for a couple beers at my local bar, chaucers, which has just put tables on the sidewalk. it was lovely. then we continued to drink beers and smoke cigarettes on the steps outside my front door for the next few hours. it was like a little vacation and i remember fondly sitting on various porches in the los angeles region with friends doing the same, though they weren't so good looking.

anybody gonna be in san fran at all at the end of the month. i'll probably be going there on weekend for work.

well, our sale season is in full swing and we've got americana opening this weekend. the philly antiques show is also on this weekend and we're doing some stuff with that. lots going on. things are good. saw my parents and they enjoyed philadelphia and it was good to see them.

take care
