First of all, I'd like to thank Jeff Horwitz once again for offering
to let Adam stay at his place while he's in the Philadelphia area.

Secondly, I'd like to organize a phl.pm dinner with Adam.  It will
have to be on short notice, because he's only here for a few days.
Probably we can only do it Monday or Tuesday nights.  When I checked
with Adam a few days ago, he said he could probably make either day.
Are either of those days better or worse for people?

We'll also need a place to take him.  He's indicated that he's not too
interested in cheesesteaks, so that rules out Tony Luke's.  Should we
just take him to Nodding Head?

Finally, Philly Lambda (the local functional programming group (yes,
Philadelphia now has a functional programming group)) is having a talk
Wednesday night that sounds interesting.  The topic is fuzzy string
matching, and it will be at 7 pm at the Cira Center [1].  Look through
the mailing list archive [2] for more information, including how to
RSVP (security needs to know who'll be coming).  Kyle, the speaker,
has even posted a link to a draft of his slides.  This seems to have
some overlap with my dissertation work, so I'll definitely be there.

1. Adam, if you're thinking of attending, this office building is
   right next door to Philadelphia's main train station, where the
   Amtrak trains depart for New York City.
