Yesterdy afternoon was spent with my mom, grandmother, aunt, and cousin in the suburbs of Philadelphia. We spent a couple of hours in New Hope, a smallish place that reminded me a bit of the College Hill portion of Providence RI prior to the influx of chain stores: small boutiques abounded with a sprinkling of wicca stores, and rainbow flags flew in the breeze. We lunched at a restaurant called Havana that, surprisingly enough, had only one Cuban item on the menu, a "cuban panini" that could vaguely be called authentic aside from the fact that it was called a panini. And it was served with french fries. And the pork tasted a little old. Not an overwhelming dining experience, but the staff was polite and the live music (again, not Cuban, more swing/big band in taste) was nice. I bought a nice fleece-lined knit hat, among other things. The hat was quite welcome today, seeing as it was freezing. Upshot? First snow of the season!

Tomorrow a)Inception comes out on DVD and b) I only work until noon! Happy day.
