The Phillies and 11 Years


Eleven years ago the best era in Phillies' history came to an end.  When Doc left it all on the field (and was never the same again) and when Ryan Howard tore his Achilles tendon (and was  also never the same again), we didn't know it, but we feared it, that the best "dynasty" in Phillies History was over.  But, on the 281st day of 2022, 11 years to the day, my Two for 2022 were clear!  The Phillies and 11 Years.  I am not going to say I was relaxed the whole game on 10/7/2022 but I am going to say that I got goosebumps in the top of the 9th.  I do not know if they will win tomorrow, or even win another game in 2022.... but, for tonight, I am happy with a Phillies Playoff win!  And that is something I have not felt in a long, long time.  Hope it is not another 11 years.

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
