And my own virtual log of the Phillies win, a list of stories and articles.
Phillies relish first World Series title in 28 years
Philadelphia finally gets another title
After waiting two days, Philadelphia wins second championship
After painful wait, Phillies win World Series
I will keep adding to this…and I hope none of the links go bad.
Yay Phils!
I was 16 and I cried at that final Blue Jays home run.
My favorite:
Back when tobacco was still cool–that Vet outfield was stained!
Why does my mind make these weird connections? Matt showed me this video last night from Old Crow Medicine Show and I thought, “They’re the country version of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones!” Take a look and compare (and it’s not just The Suits–there’s a similar aura and attitude):
I’m getting more ideas–I think two major similarities are the variety of instruments they play and the stage presence of the two bands.
(And is it true that the one guy in MMB just jumps around and that’s all he does?)
I don’t know. I think I need more. I started cleaning out my summer clothes last night. Every year I try to donate some of my old clothes to charity. And by old, I usually have clothes that are at least 5 years old that I am still wearing. This is a photo of my short-sleeved summer shirts. I’d estimate that about 80-90% of them were gifts from Mom. Thanks for keeping my closet stocked, Mom!
I organized these four piles from oldest to newest tops. Obviously, the shortest pile is the oldest. I am guessing that the oldest clothes date back to 1999-2001. The next oldest pile is from 2001-2003ish. The next pile was accumulated from around 2003-2006 and then the newest pile of tops is 2 years old or less. These are all guesses but I know that I have tops from 1999. I usually organize my shirts in the following categories: work, graphic Ts, old Ts I do yard work in, shirts for going out at night, Ts for just going out on a weekend (daytime). I think that’s it–I may be forgetting a category or two.
We’ve had some good ole fall weather lately, so the garden is changing and we are preparing for winter.
Remember these bushy flowers than ran wild all summer?
Obviously they love to propagate, and seeded to create tons of tiny ones in the pots they used to be in:
So I tried replanting some to see if I an keep some alive through the winter for next year. I’m not very optimistic. If anyone wants a seedling, let me know!
The lavender has spread as well:
Anyone want some sage? If anyone can tell me what to do with this, please give me ideas. I’ve already dried a whole bunch. I don’t want to waste the rest.
I stole this youtube video from Andrew but it’s way too funny to keep to myself!
I’m not really sure how this works, but it is a virtual game of tag. Beth tagged me, and these are the instructions:
1-Link to your tagger and list the rules
2-List 5 random facts about yourself
3-Tag 5 people
4-If you’re tagged, play along and pass it on!
Here’s the link to Beth, one of the funniest women I know: http://superbef.blogspot.com/
1. I often enjoy my days the most when I don’t talk to anyone at all.
2. I love to cook but never give myself enough time to do it.
3. The best part of my job is teaching my Freshman all about college life.
4. I have been physically ill over the election and am worried about the outcome.
5. I am very sad that it is getting dark earlier because I can’t play in my garden us much when I get home from work.

Explore And Eat (NO–it’s not me!) 
I found one of my old journals/diaries. It was often too private to share, but some of it really spoke to me and made me re-evaluate some of my life. And I’ve only read a few pages.
This entry was written in January, 1998:
“I have to do something extraordinary with my life or I will never be happy. I have to do something special and admirable in a global way. I get upset with unfairness and injustice, even for people I don’t know….I want to be ambitious and I want to write a script. I want it to be for children but one where they would develop cultural sensitivity from watching it.”
So random, so fanciful, but kind if inspiring, for me. I am in the doorway of accomlishing the global goals, but have been jaded and maybe I should continue reading my journal for inspiration.
And I know I need to do more writing, even if it isn’t in the form of a script. But who knows–I do work around many people with Hollywood film connections!
Yesterday morning Matt and I decided to drive over to the Mayfair Diner to see Obama. The crowds weren’t that crazy but we never caught a glimpse of him. We heard him, we could see him through other people’s cameras, Matt even lifted me up at one pint, but no luck. Here is my photo essay of the event, with some of the photos heavily cropped to try to make out some semblance of what was going on!
