Happy New Year, everyone.

For the 07/07/07 wedding, we should book hotel rooms. As far as I know, most hotel reservations can be cancelled 24 hours before you are due to show up, so we should reserve, and then cancel if necessary.
Regarding transportation - that's something we should have some time to figure out. I've been using Zipcars (which is like Philly Car Share), and I know I will be able to reserve a car for that weekend.
So, Dad, can you post the hotel info on the blog? Or at least the web address where we can look that up? I have the card from Paul somewhere - if I find it, I'll post the info.

JP - Yeah, Dan Brown is annoying like that. You have to see his books as fiction first, and not even historical fiction. He just makes stuff up when he needs it, or if it sounds cool.

Thanks for the encouragement re: weight. I lost one more pound in the last week, for a grand total of 18 pounds. I broke the diet a few times (pizza party on work on Friday, New Years Eve dinner Sunday), so I'm not surprised at the lower loss.
Some more good news - it seems the scale at my gym may be about 10 pounds off. I thought I was 291, coming down from a starting weight of 309. But I weighed myself on my home scale, which maxes out at 286, and it said my weight is 281. So maybe I started at 299, and am down to 281. I'll have to try out more scales...
But, I'm strictly back on the diet, so I hope to have more progress!

Good talking to you guys!
