4/7/11
We used to go out A LOT for work but not too much anymore.
Tonight was a cocktail party held by StockCross Financial
held at the STANARD TAP in a part of Philadelphia
called Northern Liberties. It’s a section of town
that is “up & coming”.

My former co-worker Michael drove us to the event.
We used to always say we had lots of “SUBTERFUGE”
at work when we were on the floor
(of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange).
Hence Michael’s license plate.
