I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Time for a Dunk in Chowder...

    It looks as if Philly native and Eagles fan Kevin Eubanks will be taking a swim in a dunk tank full of New England Clam Chowder, per the Super Bowl bet he concocted with his boss, Tonight Show host Jay Leno (a Pats fan.)

    I was disppointed in the outcome but, actually not surprised. McNabb played JUST like he did against Atlanta in the playoffs - running out of steam and confidence to make connections in the last quarter. Not unlike a certain diminutive Philadelphia-area horse who also ran out of steam during his chance for the history books at Belmont.

    T.O. did a great job, despite the criticisms he garnered before the game. He knew his own body, his own abilities, and tried his best to keep McNabb relaxed enough to maintain some momentum.

    I'm looking forward to the Fall to see how my "Cardiac Cats" and the 'Iggles manage to do in their respective seasons.

    On another note, I still feel kinda crapulent with a residual sinus infection but at least my fever is down and the throat isn't nearly as sore as it was. Yuk!

    At least they got to the big party this year, an improvement over past performances. Better luck in the future, and keep in mind it took the Red Sox 86 years to win the big one.

    I hope that sinus mess goes away soon, Brandy!

    I agree with your assessment. Alas. Frankly, I was a bit offended at the Pats' antics in the endzone, flapping their wings. But then, I've got the rest of my life to get over it ...
