Unlike my earlier post, I don’t have a major gripe to address regarding baseball announcers nor will any manatees be in harm’s way this time (well, no more than they normally are, anyway).
But my friend Barb alerted me to this, as she put it, “copycat photo” and I feel it deserves a post of its own. Inspired by my posting of Paula’s pic with her guy and the Stanley Cup, Barb’s recent excursion to Citizen’s Bank Park resulted in the following act of goofiness she had to explain to her companions devoted fandom with the Commissioner’s Trophy:
I just wish that our picture of Lester, The Dude and me with the Stanley Cup nine years ago wasn’t trapped on an ancient Mac that I can never seem to get around to taking to my local computer folks to mine it for that pic and a lot of other stuff, including the first draft of my novel. I promise to get it done some time before The Grrl (who was too young to take to our encounter with the Cup) graduates high school. Considering that she’s graduating middle school this week, that should give me enough time.
By the way, Barb, this demonstration that our friendship transcends any sports grudges I hold rivalries we share means that at the first opportunity we get, lunch is on you. Yes, I’m aware that the Phillies really just got even with the Rox for their sweep (!) in ‘07. But seeing as your guys committed the more recent offense…
