Glad you are getting paid regardless. There are worse places to be stuck than Philly. I've always heard the restaurants there are great, though I don't have specifics!

There's a hawk nest at the Franklin Institute, with a webcam too. The male was recently hit by a car, and the female is getting supplemental feeding for babies.
