News
Well today was a big day for the economy. Oil dropped nearly $3 a barrel and is now at its 7 week low of $122. They say once it goes below $120 it should cruise down to $100. There was a 5.4 earthquake that hit California today around noon. There was no major damage but this is a reminder that the big one is still out there. I dont know if anybody watches the news anymore but Edie Huggins from nbc10 died today after a lengthy illness. Also, Bennigans filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy today and will shut its doors.
Sports
Well the Phillies seem to be back on pace they won their 3rd in a row tonight and are now only a half game out of first. The Eagles are now at Lehigh University at summer camp its that time of year again football starts this Sunday with the hall of fame game. I think this will be a very succesful year for the birds.
Politics
I have realclearpolitics.com in my favorite places and check it at least 5 times a day. The site shows about 6 of the biggest polls in the presidential election and averages it out. This was the first time I have seen McCain lead in any of the polls. He is now only trailing Obama in the average of all 6 polls by 2.5%. I cant wait to see who each of them picks for their VP that actually might make a difference this year.
Weather
There is approx. 31 days left untill Sept. and I CANNOT wait I cant stand this weather and its supposed to get much worse this weekend with temps into the upper 90's. I cant wait to see what kind of storms will be rolling in early next week to break this weather pattern. This has been a very violent season for storms around here.
Well I will be going for now. Have a great day.

Vacation
Since I wont have vacation until Sept. we have been looking for a place to vacation. Our number one choice is Vermont for a stay at a bed and breakfast. Our second choice is to the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown,NY. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. I cannot wait to get this years election out of the way I just hope Americans are smart enough to know we are not ready for a president like Obama. He would definetly be the next Jimmy Carter and this country cant handle that right now.
Well the Phillies are safely in first place by 3 games. They are playing very well right now and I'm starting to get the feeling I had in 1993 when they went to the world series. Dont look now but the Eagles are only 2 months away from their first preseason game.
Oil is jumping by leaps and bounds I expect to see gas jump above $5 a gallon by the end of summer and God only knows what natural gas and heating oil will reach by next winter. This is a terrible time to take out a mortgage also that has jumped by near a half of percent in the past 3 days.
Well let me know if anyone has any ideas or links for a fall vacation.

First place Phillies, and the conference finals for the Flyers!!!!
Sports
Well its been quite a month for our local teams the Phillies are in first place but its way too early to get excited. The Flyers are rolling along like I first called with the hot goalie anything can happen and now they are 8 wins from bringing us our first parade down Broad Street since the 1980 Phillies. LETS GO FLYERS!!!!
Politics
It appears Barack Obama has wrapped things up for the democrats. He won NC by a landslide and almost won Indiana. So if there is any chance for Obama to win in November Hillary should drop out soon.
Television
We just watched one of the best movies we've ever seen from Netflix last night P.S. I Love You. WOW that was an emotional roller coaster if you have any Irish in your blood you MUST see this movie. It was FANTASTIC!!

Big series for the Phillies
Sports
It all begins today the race for the N.L. East crown. The Phillies open up a 3 game series with the mighty Mets at 1 today. The Braves lost a tough game last night to the Rockies so now the Phillies are in first place with 3 wins and 4 losses;) Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished in 12th place on Sunday and remains in the top 5 in points. The Flyers start their playoff run on Friday night against the Capitols. They have a very hot goalie right now and that's how you win Stanley Cups.
News/Politics
Well Obama has opened up his lead on Hillary to 7% now. So it's looking like it will be Obama vs. McCain for the Presidency. Its going to be very interesting to see who each of them picks as their running mates. If the election were held today Obama would win by 1%.
Weather
It's been a little chilly around here the past couple of days, it was 76 in Pittsburgh yesterday. It will take a couple of days to get here but it should be in the upper 70's by Thursday. I still have not received my thermometer yet but it should arrive today.
Family
Cecil,Pops will be staying with us for a while starting next week. We can't wait for that, will now have reality tv buddy;) The only problem being we are having a hard time keeping up with Dancing With The Stars and American Idol due to Big Brother and Biggest Loser. Oh well I guess if that's our toughest choice that's a good thing:0)

76ers and flyers are in the playoffs!!!!!
SPORTS
WOW the Flyers,76ers and Phillies all won tonight. The 76ers and the Flyers clinched playoff berths!! The Phillies won 8-4 tonight and are now 2-2 with a game tomorrow afternoon. They start a HUGE series on Tuesday with the Mets.
NEWS/POLITICS
Well oil keeps going through the roof it cost me $45 to fill up my little Honda the other day. Barack Obama has just taken the lead on Hillary in PA. Last week Hillary led him by double digits. It will all come down to who McCain picks as his running mate. I am really hoping for Mitt Romney at this point
WEATHER
Well this has been a boring time for the weather. I has been overcast and rainy for the past 3 days. I just won a Brookstone 5-day weather forecaster on ebay and it should be here next week. I can't wait!!!! I have been trying for this since the start of winter when we saw it in the Hamilton mall with Kim and the girls. Okay well I better get some sleep. I hope you all enjoy my new homepage (Thanks to Kim and Tim). See you all tomorrow.
