The 7 people kicking off the Fest are all accounted for. Florida contingent (Penny and Dick) got into Philly with plenty of time to make their connection. Jishnu and Alan started out from New York on the Pennsylvanian. I had a horrible drive down to Cherry Hill filled with traffic jams and heavy rain. Bill came out and met me on the Cherry Hill platform, and waited with me for the NJT train, which was 10 minutes late. Once I got to Philadelphia, Grace was also in the Club Acela. Chris joined us later. A few of us went to get lunch and pick up some goodies for the train. We were then taken down to the platform for the Pennsylvanian by a Redcap well in advance of the cattle line.

I'm on my way! Left home this morning at 6am (like old times). Home to airside at PHL was 35 minutes. Now onboard US Airways 407 (an A321) rip-roaring toward Chicago at 510mph, 32,000 feet over Pittsburgh. We're going to go south of some nasty weather in Indiana, then swing up over Lake Michigan, and should be on the ground at O'Hare in a little under an hour. Got upgraded to F, so it's all good.
