and courtesy of our good friends Liza and Chris we get to up the ante via the adorable Desmond opening wide for an american wit' onions and peppers. After all, having friends in town is always a welcome opportunity for us to visit our favorite cheese steak joint, Jim's Steaks. (Consider that a strong hint to those of you who have yet to make your Philly travel plans...)

Let it be stated, for the record, and for those who don't already know this, I love walking. Shoe, weather, and distance permitting, I will always opt for my feet as my favorite mode of transportation. And I'll permit many shoes, some crazy weather, and a whole lot of distance before I even think of not walking somewhere walkable. And of course, my definition of walkable, is to some, questionable. And to further hammer home the point of my love for walking that knows no boundaries, in sixteen years of working and three cities of residence, I've never had a job I couldn't walk to and it's not a track record I ever plan to break. Suffice it to say, a city's treatment of pedestrians is of extreme importance to me.

Despite predictions of thunder storms, Gigi’s two hours worth of nightmares from 6-8AM concerning how best to dress for precipitation and low temperatures, and Stu’s anxieties regarding the warmth of his sweatpants and their lack of back pockets, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect morning for our first MS walk ever.
