Hi All<br />
Got back to Philadelphia on the &quot;red eye&quot; from Portland Oregon about 7 this morning - the conference was great but what we saw outside the conference in Oregon and Washington was even better -- Bob and I fully explored the Columbia River Gorge - went out to Mount Hood and watched the skiers ski with the temperatutres in the 60&#39;s (it snowed Monday and Tuesday last week and we were there on Thursday)-- visited the Mount Saint Helen&#39;s Monument -- and then attempted to get a glimpse of Mount Rainier -oh such magnificence.  The city of Portland was also delightful -- had some of the best Thai food and a great meal at Jakes Crawfish.  All in all Bob and I had a lot of fun in the few days we got away.  I have been getting ready for Passover since I arrived home and now think I need a nap or I won&#39;t make it through the Seder and dinner tonight.  So everyone have a great afternoon and evening I&#39;m off for my nap.[/size]
