Another Horseless Preakness

Preakness once again came and went and a full week later I feel like I’m still feeling it’s effects.  The Infield will do that to you. We did Preakness a little different this year.  In the past we took a bus trip out of Philadelphia but this year, for various reasons, we decided to stay

On Missing Jimmy Buffett in Philly

I’m currently agitated with my friends.   While I’m enduring my second day in the classroom, they’re spending the afternoon/night populating Facebook and my text inbox with posts and pictures from a Jimmy Buffett concert currently occurring in Philly (really, the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, but Philly works).

Irish Weekend or FarmAid?

People Watching at the Preakness Infieldfest

I was talking with a friend last night about Preakness and she remarked that she didn’t think “regular” people (like me) were able to go.  She pictured a classy affair with big hats, navy sportcoats, boat shoes, and fancy drinks garnished with slices of fruit.  I had to explain that while this part of the

Peach Music Festival

More to add to the Summer 2012 to do list. One of my favorite summer activity is concerts in the lawn section at Montage Mountain. In fact, I used to have personal policy that if I new at least two songs and the tickets were under $30.00, I’d go just for the hell of it.
