I began by having a lunch with Nancy Malkiel (History), Brian Kernighan (Computer Science), Christy Wampole (French and Italian), Imani Perry (Center for African American Studies), Michael Graziano (Psychology and Princeton Neuroscience Institute) and Mitch Henderson (Athletics).

Then it was time for a day off, so I drove to Philadelphia and arrived as Dr Len was parking his car and carrying his wares home, so we went into his house and he showed me his special mouth watering pills designed to reduce the frequency of dental torture. Next, we headed off into Fairmount Park and stopped at a place where grapefruits were being unloaded before we got directions to Valley Green and after parking the car walked down the path in Wissahickon Valley Park until we reached the restaurant which did serve lunch, our meal of choice and so we were set to eat at the Valley Green Inn where the menu described soups and salads main courses and drinks which kept Dr Len and me busy exploring our options before his Yards Brawler and my Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat arrived as I noted the statue across the room and Dr Len's walnut and apple salad and my Valley Green's grilled cheese (sans bacon) arrived along wit the local bread. When we finished, a dessert menu was offered but we had consumed enough food by then and didn't need drink and so I headed to the facilities where I collected this sign for my collection and after a false try captured this tribute to the Sunday cigar as Dr Len posed with our Indian friend and we noted some antique implements and lots of glasses before we headed out into the Wissahickon to see the water and small waterfalls as the creek rolled on and the leaves gathered, it being fall and all as I looked up to Dr Len who had found the bench of his choice and then made my way back up the trail and beyond the fallen limb to where he sat and we started down the path back to the car stopping to see this quote from Walt Whitman.

Back at work, it was Halloween and there was Megan in costume before we met with Mark Watson and Anne Case and then I ended the day by seeing Megan (sans costume) with her twins in their full regalia.
