I definitely jammed it bad enough that I'll be in pain for the next five weeks or so. I had to take my car to my parents late last night, and my battery was dead. I jumped it with the mini-van, then pulled it back. The battery was SO dead that when I turned on the headlights, the engine died again. So, I got out to move the minivan out into the driveway to jumpstart it again, and my shoes were wet cause it was raining so hard. When I stepped on the floor of my garage, my right foot slid right out from under me. My left knee buckled and my left big toe SLAMMED into the flood lip of the garage floor right as I came down on it with all my weight in a very awkward approximation of the hurdler stretch. My nail has turned bright purple, and the whole toe is swelling up. I took five motrin about an hour ago, but with my liver, it's already worn off. Man, it hurts like a you-know-what. I've got it wrapped in an ace bandage to try to protect and compress it, but it's not helping too much. I'll live, but walking is NO fun right now. ;)

I finished up my poster the day before leaving for Philly and uploaded it to the Fedex-Kinko's website to be printed at the Kinko's next to the Pennsylvania Convention Center. I made the poster in PowerPoint, which means it was a scaled version. When I uploaded, I attached a note with instructions to print it at 200%. On my way home from work on Friday, I got a phone call from someone at the Philly Kinko's, telling me that they couldn't print the poster at 200%. I asked, "Well, can you double it?" The response I got was, "Yes, we can do that." (No, I didn't laugh until after I hung up the phone.) :ugeek: :ugeek:

My hotel was next to the Reading Terminal Market, so I went there several times. Lunch the first day in Philly was a Reuben from Hershel's Deli (in the middle of the market). Easily the best corned beef I've ever had. I got pretzels on 2 separate occasions and also got ice cream at Bassett's. Also got a cheese steak at one of the places in RTM; never made it to the touristy places. It was pretty darn good, though. Got to play tourist; there are lots of pictures on my Facebook page.

My friends surprised me with a trip to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Lots of pictures of that trip as well.

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island - not quite around the corner from downtown Philly, but well worth the time!

bjornolf wrote:I don't know. I always thought that Carnegie's was a little over-rated. They've fallen into the trap of being too popular for their own good. There's a deli here in Fairfax run by a guy that moved down here from New York for work and was so disgusted by the lack of a good deli that he opened his own. I think his sandwiches are better than Carnegie's, personally.

As long as it's not Woody Allen, OK by me!

They also have a location over in Vienna, VA (as opposed to It'ly), as well.
