Theresa (reply pls)
I hope some day to meet you. I enjoyed every minute of the day in Philly and wish you would do one in Chicago so that I could gather my gf group friends for a day out there. You won’t be sorry at all. Oh well, that may not happen, but some day, some time in the future I will have a chance to meet you.

Out of curiosity – where did all the candy go that was in the pinata… to CHOP, St. Christopher’s, to the neighborhood children who may not have tricker or treated due to the craziness in Philly on Halloween aka the Phillies’ victory parade!!! (more…)

Birthdays are crap.

Mine no longer tend to herald exciting parties and the greedy shredding of wrapping paper. They are now just mileposts that point the way toward the inexorable arrival of old age and incontinence.

Because I’m an increasingly maudlin fellow, I tend to treat other people’s “special days” in the same vein. And so it was that before the basketball game, which I shall refer to later, I went to a birthday party. The fiesta was for the daughter of a friend of mine who works for Princess Cruises and I went to help celebrate the birthday of his Princess who we all call “Cup Cake.”
