Oh my god, I'm going to Philadelphia! For free! In February! I feel like puking, but in a (very) good way.
I need a coat.
Incidentally, this is the second time in as many weeks that I have been invited to fly somewhere on someone else's dime. I'm going to Tampa, Florida in April for a virology conference. Hooray beaches and viruses!

wow, for free! that's nice.
Mazel Tov. Incidentally I heard someone complaining today on the radio that Gentiles really "Jew-it-up" when they are talking to their Jewish frinds
Ed - Yes, free trips are awesome. It's like travel... but free.
Monti - that's hilarious. What I've always found funny is how people "Jew-it-up" with me even though I'm not a practicing Jew.
Well I don't think Jewish Culture pertains only to practicing Jews. Me thinks you Blog is somewhat an ode to the art of Kvetching.
You're just Jewing it up now, Monti.
Ha! That cracked me up. I kind of want to change my tagline to "An Ode to the Art of Kvetching" now.
Anyway, as much as I would like to be one of the cool kids, I don't think I'm a big enough Jew. Although my maternal lingeage is Jewish, nobody has been Jewish in generations. Besides my last name and my swarthy complexion (joke!) there really isn't much Jew about me.
AWESOME. Thatta girl, E. :) Bring long underwear if you value your limbs!
Allison!
Dude!
I keep meaning to get in touch with you but I am, alas, criminally lazy. I guess I sort of assume you're going to sign onto AIM any minute now =P
I really want to know if you got the job.
