You bring up a good point - weather. How cold is it likely to be mid-November? Turtleneck and light jacket, or turtleneck , medium weight sweater and light jacket?

Look, I've seen open heart surgery, heart-lung surgery and liver surgery in my working days, and I don't think *I* am up for the Mutter collection! The five year old would much rather see the battleship. (personally, I'm hoping to find a few minutes for the antiquarian book stores of Philly - any reccomendations on those? )
