This About Me section is pretty much redundant, since i) I am a complicated person, consequently ii) there is nowhere near enough space, and iii) you can form a mental profile of me from what I want you to be able to know about me by way of the blog posts. So there!

Sleepless in Philly

While that may not be strictly true, my biological clock is still rather confused, so I have enough energy to give you the lowdown of my day here in Philadelphia. It can be summed up pretty easily, too - I did a lot of walking! And that's great, because Philly is a rather european place in that most places of consequence can be reached on foot quite easily. But that's not the only europeanish aspect: much of the city has a distintly european, or rather english flavour to it. Which probably won't be much of a surprise because it is in New England ... anyway, that's how I like it!

Tonight, I went to see the Dave Ramsey Trio in the Café Habana, where I also had a good dinner. This trio of music students appears to have a very ecclectic repertoire - tonight, they gave us some all time jazz classics, what with Chet Baker & everything. It was great fun in a relaxed atmosphere. I knew about it because I met Dave at The Last Drop where I had breakfast. Since he seems to like e.s.t. as much as I do, I followed his recommendations to see them play tonight and also got the latest album of The Bad Plus, which I didn't have time to listen to, yet. Right about now, I think I am tired enough to go indulge myself in some sleep.

Apologies for being obnoxiously picky, but Philadelphia isn't generally considered to be in New England--that's sort of like saying Basel is in the Alps! New England basically runs from Connecticut up to Maine, whereas Philly is more Mid-Atlantic...

Not obnoxious at all - thanks for battling ignorance on all grounds! ;-)
