Rob's Pharewell to Philly

i'm going to make a surprise appearance- so don't tell rob i'm coming, rob.

Best of luck Mr. White Shirt! The family and I will be in Western PA celebrating Thanksgiving one day later that 99.9% of the country.

Rob, I don't think I'll be able to get into the city on Friday to wish you well on your new endeavor. Congrats on your new job (sounds very cool) and in Boston. Who'd of thought that you would follow opportunity to the heart of Marky Pants favorite town! I'll look for you online.

Robert, I believe I have to work overnight, so I'm sorry I don't think I will be able to attend. I will fire you a text soon and ask you the details.

Dear Sir, I will be doing my best to get there. Or will at least try to track you down somehow prior to your departure.

Hey Rob! So sorry that I can't make it out to say goodbye. (With a little one at home and one on the way, I don't get out much!) Congratulations on your new job and best of luck as you move on to Boston. Boston is a cool town too, so I am sure you will enjoy it! Take care and keep us all up-to-date on what you are doing!! All the Best, Cindy

sorry rob. Too much going on, and I'll be pretty much locked down in Bmore. Raincheck?

Rob, I can certainly appreciate your "bittersweet" sentiment...leaving Philly for NW PA was hard but it has been very rewarding....best of luck to you!!! Keep us on your email list b/c I love hearing from you! And, we may very well be in Boston next year! Best wishes on your new endeavor....Love, Wendy (and Luke & Phoebe, too!)

I'm working this Friday, but I'll see if I can't get my Evil Robot Double™ to cover the shift for me.

Of all of the lame excuses, my BAND from HIGH SCHOOL may squeeze in one last practice that night to prepare for our 20th reunion the next night. If I get out early I will come down for sure.

I will drive up and back night of. from MD. the place where many of Rob's friends go to eat, apparently. if anyone needs a ride in a small car that has seen the world, i am happy to give it.

I'll be out of town in NEPA for some holiday. can't remember what the name of it is. best of luck in boston. next up, windhammer v. the patriots

Your a jerk for leaving when I will be in MD for the holiday. I guess I will now be the most attractive red-head in Philadelphia! YES!

I just realized that I will be in Baltimore for Thanksgiving. This is a really bad day to have it. Maybe you should move it to MD?

I believe my stupid family is having stupid thanksgiving that night because they are full of stupid! grrrrr....

i'm sorry i can't make it, but i am so thrilled that i ran into you when the Phils won. next time i am back in the US, i (and hubby too) will come up to Beantown to visit you! wishing you all the very best and huge success with the move!

i'll be out of town, but i'm planning to hit boston in mid-december, so we should talk about meeting up then

I'm so sorry I'm going to miss your going away party! I'll be in CA. :(

Can you do a redux of this at another point, perhaps slightly more distant from a major holiday where families in other states demand one's presence? Pleeeease? Even the *Monday* after Thanksgiving would work bettah... Just a thought.
