I went to the Red Sox "Green Monster Truck Rally (sponsored by JetBlue)" today with Jenney. She's the one with the "Oh, I know he did not just take that picture" look on her face. I have more pictures & videos to post in a wee bit, but I wanted to let you in on where I was today, before the deluge begins.

I arrived safely in Philadelphia, just about as close to on time as one can be without being on time. I took a brief look about The Gallery, the mall I considered "my mall", if such a place can be. My favorite gaming store remains, but both my bookstores are gone. Some aspects of Market East remain the same, and some have changed.
I got back to the neighborhood I grew up in and found my parents were still in church. So I got to walk around a bit. Our old barber Benny has moved out to Springfield. The restaurant across from my childhood home has completed a year of work and is now the Vietnam Cafe. Most of the other stores are still there, however. Not a Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts', Honey Dew or any other chain in sight. All family or individual run places. Which probably explains my preference for such places as an adult. When the my parents got home from church my mom made me hot chocolate (with Fluff - you can take the parents out of Boston, but you can't take Boston out of them) and dad made brunch. After that, I was gifted with my Christmas & Birthday gifts. I received a bag of Christmas M&Ms (my 2nd favorite candy), a copy of Faithful (which the Red Sox fans won't need me to explain - and the rest can look at when I put it on Goodreads.com), and a bottle of barleywine from Dock Street, out local brewery/brewpub. Most excellent, I'm told. I'll have to review it for BeerAdvocate.com! It's almost time to go to the Super Bowl party I came to Philly for so I'll just mention the snow here. It's certainly a good thick, deep snow, but I think it's not as bad as all that. Only 28 inches. My brother Jonathan down in DC, now I hear he has some snow. But still, New England has better storms. Usually. Also, I have to play with our dog.Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
Slowly but surely we' making our way South. Yes, there is mad snow. But not on the NJ Turnpike. On the side, oh hells yes. But they did a great job on the road.

Greyhound posted this message at the gate here in Boston. The lady at the ticket counter says my connection in NYC may be the first bus to Philly since the storm rolled in. I've heard various levels from family & friends in Philly, about 2-3 feet of snow. I'm hopeful I get through in time to join some of my family & friends at the traditional Super Bowl party I've attended since I was a teenager. Even if they haven't all forgiven me for wearing a Patriots shirt the year they beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Man, I took some serious heat that day. But I knew most of them loved or liked me anyway, so I didn't mind too much.

Do you have a *crush* on any of your followers?
I would say with absolute certainty that yes, there are followers I would be interested in spending private, personal time with in order to get to know better.
