sommerloch indeed.
Sorry I haven't posted. things have been crazy with house stuff, moving, and finishing up my job at CHOP. I will be done with the moving today, and then have to do the furniture arranging (after the fun of hauling the couch up a flight of VERY narrow stairs). We are almost done fixing up the bathroom. met one of our new next door neighbors, girl named Natalie. we seem to have a very electic mix of people on our block: immediately next to us is a chinese gentleman who teaches at Penn, then the girl (an artsy, outdoorsy type), across the street is a bangladeshi family and then at least one black family. we are located next to a small high school, and yesterday early evening their drum troupe was out practicing, and they rocked. 5 guys, synchronized stepping, REALLY loud. awesome though.
the neighborhood is good though. quiet.
the house is coming along. will post pics when I get the chance.
Sunday I am going up to Canada for our annual "temple week" and gathering for my kung fu family, until the following sunday. we will be in Barrie, Ontario, coincidentally where they are having the canadian Live 8 concert. I just can't get away from it, as it's here in philly as well. gavin and I are going to check out stevie wonder, who is playing, and a few others. can ride bikes to the concert spot (Rockie steps of the art museum) so not so much of a hassle. C, I think you mentioned passing through philly the weekend of the 9th and 10th of july, on your way back from dad's, but I won't be back in philly until evening time on sunday. sux. any other weekend would be fine.
then on the 11th I start my new job. exciting.
TOO much going on.
love to all,
H
