My school is sending me on a 4-day training up in Philadelphia this weekend, and I'm finally ready to go - sub plans are made, the dog has a home, and the train ticket is bought. I'm sure I'll figure out a way to find out which hotel I made reservations at last week. I think the airport HIlton. Or maybe the airport Sheraton.
I need a break righ tnow in a big way. Kids are starting to make snide comments about getting work back late. It's all I can do to keep up with planning, let alone with all my grading. On this 4-day trip, I'm bringing a stack full of hundreds of papers to grade, plus my grad school textbooks, plus House of Spirits to re-read. If they only knew how hard I worked...
I am excited to get out of town for a bit, though. I've never really been to Philadelphia, and, while I won't have much, if any, time for sight-seeing, I'll at least find a good sports bar or two to watch the Tigers games.

You're going to Philly THIS weekend? You might want to pack your riot gear, because in case you haven't heard this is Terrel Owens' return to the city and it could get ugly.
Since Mr. Epiph isn't having any epiphanies while in Philadelphia apparently, allow me to steal his thunder: THE TIGERS HAVE BEAT THE YANKEES AND ARE GOING TO THE ALCS!!!

While I am a Yankees fan, I will say, if they're going to lose, I'd rather them lose to Detroit. I'll lump the loss since it was to a better team.
And my kids like to comment on the time it takes me to return things, so I simply hold it for an extra day for every comment I hear. I'm mean...really mean.
