Too cold for the old
Endless heavy rains and winds today;even some snow flurries around noon. The Phillies game, which was called because of the weather yesterday will not be finished again today because of the weather.
Barack held a rally in the freezing rain before 9000 enthusiasts in Chester,PA today. McClain canceled his outdoor rally in Quakertown,PA. Too cold for the old.

The more I work, the less I accomplish. When the day comes to leave, I'll fly away to Budapest and worry about this mess after I get back and rested.
Going out tonight to watch the Phillies wrap up the World Series win! GO PHILS!!

2championships
Great time @ Sudoku event @ Convention Center even if I did have to get up @ the crack of dawn (8:45) for me. Met and talked to the Godfather of Sudoku, Maki Kaji. I dropped my camera (again) the other day so I had to take photos with a disposible. Pictures later.
No, I didn't win, but our PHILLIES did!!!! Out until 2 a.m. watching the game.

There were 728 contestants, down from 857 last year. The people were from ages 7 to 88 and came from 28 states, Canada and Europe.

Phanatic & me
When I saw the Phanatic @ the rally on Wednesday, I remembered that I used to date him:) Luckily, I found a picture.
Spent the day trying to organize clothes, papers for the trip. Went to the library to help a guy with an email problem.
It's very chilly today. Gotta get the fall/winter clothes sorted and cleaned.
Called my BIL cause it's his birthday (76). He LOVED the Obama/Phillies tee I sent him.

Phillies Phever
Sis & I went to the rally @ City hall @ noon on Wednesday. Everybody's got the phever. A very large, orderly, LOUD crowd. A sea of red.
Whiz Kidz Band
They played "When You're Smiling" & Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Repeatedly. We were lucky to be on the first row. But my ears are still ringing today because of being so close to the speakers.
Mayor & ball girls
Mayor Nutter is a big phan of everything Philadelphia. He announced a raffle for tickets to the game. You had to email Victorino's favorite food ingredient....SPAM!! Maybe I'll win!!!
Signs
Guess the economy is so bad that there weren't the usual free shirts and rally towels thrown to the crowd.All we got were the signs.
yagottabelieve
This guy was in a motorized wheelchair. He said he was going to rest after the rally and then watch the game @ Chickies & Pete's tonight. Ya gotta believe in yourself and get out there.

Phillies Phever
Everybody's got the fever. Sis found a guy selling this shirt from a truck when she went to a coffeeshop in Mt. Airy. Perfect to wear to the rally @ City Hall tomorrow.
We went to the Clubhouse for one or two and discovered it was Steak Night so we stayed and ate and talked baseball with everyone.

welcomesign
We received slips for free lunch, tickets for raffles and chips for game play.
I LOVE Sis's shirt: Homeland Security: Fighting Terrorists since 1492!!
She got it on her trip to New Mexico.
blackjack
Sis and Mom played Blackjack. They wanted to stop and go to lunch but kept winning. They finally walked away and gave the chips to the others at the table.
Mom was filmed and was on Action News last night!!
ch6photosladies
The ladies were wearing their Eagles gear but did a Phillies cheer for the Action News photog.
withharold
The PCA photog chose us to pose with Eagles great Harold Carmichael. You know I asked if he knew the famous joke about him and the baby in the burning building. He did :)
rafflisten
Mom was tired and ready to go home, but we waited and listened for the raffle winners' name. We'd put all of our tickets into the $50 gas card and Eagles tickets boxes.

Obama Rally
Barack Obama was in Philadelphia in 4 locations today. Got a ride over to Gorgas Park with T. So many people (20,000?) So much joy! No pushing or shoving. Not a discouraging word. Positive Vibrations.
