Gonna fly now

Philadelphia is a city of underdogs. Fighters. The city's sports teams haven't won a title since 1983--the Curse of Billy Penn. But they keep trying. Keep fighting through. Kep hoping. The Phillies are down 2-0 in the playoffs, and in danger of losing a short series. But they move on. After all, the Mets had a seven-game lead with 17 games to play. And they lost out.

I'm going to ride down to the City of Brotherly Love a little later. To feel the lights. The speed. Play chess at 65 mph. To feel some of that spirit. Get in touch with my inner underdog.

(Yes, I've run up the steps. The view of the skyline is amazing.)
