I am beginning to believe I have some World Series magic...or something like that. I would say I am doing pretty good. I moved to Chicago....White Sox win the World Series. I move to Philadelphia....the Phillies win the World Series. My Sister in Law, Emily, says I need to move to Detroit and bring my magic there.
Really it's incredible to be here right now. Philadelphia has had a championship drought among the major sports going on 25 years....the longest of any major metropolitan area with four professional teams. There are all sorts of theories floating around Philadelphia as to why including the curse of William Penn. Google it....kind of interesting. But our fare Comcast building stepped in to help out by placing a small "statue" of Billy Penn on the top of their building....still don't know what I am talking about....work that google button.
Anyway, the game was amazing tonight...considering it was continued from a suspended game on Monday night. The Phillies played perfect and earned an incredible championship.
Bud, Leo, Thais and I went down to Main Street in Manayunk to experience the fun with the many hundreds of people out there. It was crazy and I am not lying when I say it feels like Mardi Gras....great fun. There are thousands of people all over the streets in Philadelphia...I am not sure anyone will go to work tomorrow or Friday. I know I don't want to but well....duty calls.
Have a beer in honor of the many Philadelphians who will be doing it all weekend long....

Mari, I thought of you last night after the game ended. You should come back to Chicago, the Sox need you!! Forget Detroit. ;)
Hope you're doing well!
