Please, let the fog be gone in the morning.

Did not in slightest way regret hundred-mile trip to Philadelphia to see neonhummingbird. Only problems: getting there (moderate traffic) and getting back.

Getting to Philly involved following instructions taken from Mapquest and downloaded to PDA; got through traffic jams, construction on Jersey Turnpike, through side roads and into City of Brotherly Love. Parked about four blocks away from hotel, as it turned out, and got lost twice trying to find hotel on foot.

After second attempt to get directions, found hotel, found Perri in lobby, festivities commenced. Much fun was had.

After reluctant goodbye, went to walk to car, had to ask for directions three more times to find parking garage.

( Then the fun started. )

CNN picks it up.

I figure some people on flist might be interested:

From CNN, paraphrased by me:

They're starting to film "Batman Begins" in Iceland. Whats-his-face as the Bat, Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as not-yet-Commisioner Gordon, Morgan Freeman (!!!) as a disgruntled employee ... sounds very promising.

Now if they could just get a script that makes sense...

You know the funny thing? I was cheating a bit towards Animal at the end, and I still wound up with Kermie. Not that I'm complaining.
