Short Musical Interlude

Enjoy

Broad St. vs Broadway

In case you haven't heard, this year's World Series is between the NY Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies. While I am not a big fan of baseball, I've watched both games in the series thus far and they have actually been very good. Cliff Lee in game one was nothing short of great. He was cool on the mound and damn near pitched a shutout (had it not been for Rollins) and only allowed 4 hits. The Yankess in Game 2 retaliated with great pitching and great hitting. No doubt in an attempt to show Pedro Martinez who's his "daddy". Can't wait to watch Game 3 in Nashville, TN the day before my first business conference. I'm excited and a little nervous, but I'm sure I'll come back with interesting stories of the places, sights and people!

So the city I live in is playing the city that's given so many great memories and friends. Sigh, I won't choose. Philly: Get it together. New York: See you when this all dies down.

Happy Halloween!! Or...El Día de los Muertos

Last month I took a well deserved short vacation to New Mexico. The day we went to the historic town of Mesilla, I paroused the open market place and purchased some touristy goods. While taking in all the sites and sounds of the vendors, I noticed many of them selling little smiling skeleton figurines. These figurines were used in the celebration El Dia de los Muertos. After asking many questions aboout the holiday and doing a little research, I wondered "why isn't this holiday more celebrated?" I think its cool. The idea that life is a celebration, something to be welcomed as we pass from one form of conciousness to another. Don't get me wrong I'm all for Halloween (even though I haven't much enjoyed the holiday since I was 6), but any excuse I can get for getting a good taco and throwing back a few ice cold Coronas, I'm down!

Below is the scariest person I think of being for Halloween, I'm sure this will scare many! Happy Halloween everyone:
