Well, back Friday. I'm taking the 7:20 Acela down tomorrow morning for a distributor association board meeting then sales training with my salepeople on Wed & Thurs. I got us center ice tix for the Flyers on Tue., should be fun.

I'm bailing out early today to take the kids sledding since they've got the day off, I figured I give the wife a break. Plus I've got to leave the house at 5:30 so I'll miss them in the morning.

Hope you guys have a great week if I don't get a chance to see what's going on, who's drunk, who's selling what, etc. The iPhone is handy for lurking at least.

I should have driven, I could have pestered Chad on the way there/back but going through NYC sucks anytime of day.

Have fun Swamp. I wish it could work out to hang out, but alas, my wagon is currently DEAD. Parts arrive on Wednesday and I hope to get it running again.

I would have happily driven to Philly for a bite to eat and a cold beverage. When are you flying home?

Hope you have a reservation Swamp. Heard that all trains heading south are booked solid tomorrow. Inauguration you know. Regardless, wear an Obama pin and you will feel right at home.

Be early.

Hey I didn't catch the part about train travel.

So when are you training it home Swamp?

Crap, never thought of that. I do have reservations, though. I'll definitely plan on getting there a little earlier. Thanks!

Thursday, I think train leaves at 1ish. We're supposed to be done around or before noon. Evenings are more or less free.

Not nearly as cool, keep an eye out for a green Grand Caravan with a red heart sticker on the window. The TD is nestled away, snug in its garage so I'll be sporting the company runabout.
