HAPPY EARTH DAY!!

I hope everybody had a great Earth Day!! Take care of Mother Earth - she's done nothing but give and give and give to us. And she's beautiful!

Well, go big or go home!

Burger King is testing new menu item - MIMOSAS! How great is this???? Get your complete caloric intake in one sitting - burger, fries, mimosa - and be on your way! Unfortunately (to some), the mimosa is nonalcoholic: OJ and Sprite instead of Champagne. Maybe they should make it alcoholic to better compete with McDonalds!?!?!

Hiking the Appalachian Trail!!

My friend LR and I went up for a day hike to the Pinnacle along the Appalachian Trail. We started early, not sure how long it would take. After a little bit of a misdirect (never take the advice of a group of 16 year old boys!), and a tremendously steep ascent (breathing hard!!), we made it to an outlook of sorts: the Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomy Club's 3 observatories! Quite cool!




Following a rocky path around the mountain, we made it to the Pinnacle and ate lunch - LR packed us rice and soy sauce, vegetables, oranges, and yummy peanut butter bars! On the way back down, we found the "easy" way down: a nice wide gently sloping trail that finished right where we began! Haha!







After the hike we decided to find a pub and have a meal. We found pretty much the best place ever - CJ Hummels in Lenhartsville. We both ate entire two piece chicken meals with potatoes and cole slaw, 2 pieces of pie, and a coffee for $22. $22!!!! Plus it was happy hour - $1 drinks and draft beers! $1!!!! GREAT DAY!

Drexel Public Health and Environmental Justice Law Clinic works with several communities throughout the Philadelphia Region. We entered a video in EPA's Faces of the Grassroots: Environmental Justice Video Contest based on the great strides made by Philadelphia's Hunting Park community. Take a look!!

So cute!!!

Tiger Woods commercial

I saw the first Tiger Woods commercial from Nike this morning. I'd just like to say nice try, tasteful, but doesn't really make me want to buy anything from Nike. And I'm not entirely sure what the message is...

Thoughts?

Spring Garden Bridge

Ok, it's been a while since I've posted, and I missed April Fools day, which is disappointing, but I've been busy. And now I have something (lots!) to post about.

Is anybody else upset that they are taking down the mural on the Spring Garden bridge and replacing it with shiny (distracting) silver stainless steel (boring) siding?? Aside from the creepy black-eyed baby painting towards the north end of the bridge, I actually found the rest of it aesthetically pleasing. And now I'll just have to stare at my bumpy reflection or deflect the bright sun's reflection when I walk across the bridge. My friend JS said it best - this city just doesn't make good decisions.

Good bye Spring Garden Bridge!!

Sorry I don't have a better picture yet.
