This year, our plane home landed in Philly late on the 23rd. So instead of heading straight to the train up to my (Brad’s) parent’s place, we coordinated a hang with some old college friends, including Liz Brown, Dave Burris our professor Dr. Jim McGahey.

LL had met Dave previously on one of his work trips out to the west coast.

It had been more than a decade since I’d seen Doc!

We mosey’d our way down to Pat’s Cheesesteaks in South Philly. Glorious.

Liz joined us on the regional train out of Philly, but not before a Philadelphia subway ride!

Great fun, friends and food. Love visiting Philly!
