I was actually at the 6th game in 1980.
I saw the Phillies win their one and only WS championship. Just one. And the Phillies have been around since 1883. Makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time.
I love the Phils even though they've broken my heart more times than I can count. Maybe for that reason I'm trying to pretend that I'm not too excited. I'm hoping that Richie Ashburn has some pull up in heaven and maybe can call in some sort of favor for another World Series this year. What's that everyone's saying? Eight-O and O-Eight. Please, just one more before I die!
I was at JFK stadium back in 1980
In fact, I went to the 6th game of the WS and saw it happened from the last row of a 700-level section at the vet. I went with some guy from my econ class at Temple. I was a freshman and he was not a baseball fan. LOL. In 1980, the parade took place the very next day after the game. Professors told us that they were not cancelling class and that we were expected to show. Right. I lived at 18th and Snyder back then, so I was sitting down in JFK by 9:00 a.m., waiting for the parade to arrive. I had the time of my life.
What's really cool is that my youngest son is now a freshman at Temple, and he was told the same thing. Classes are not cancelled, and he is expected to be there. I told him to go to the parade. No one will be in class, and who knows how long he'll have to wait to see this again.
Wow, the Phillies win the World Series. I think I feel the earth shifting on its axis!

Windows open and in my flannel jammies they just said 40s by morning.
I am in Miami and it's much more than Cubans now
from every country, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Honduras, Venezuela, Mexico, Israel, Iraq, and other areas of the Middle East, Asians, and the Cubans, and other groups, TNTC (too numerous to count). 70-80% of the house staff at the U of M and Jackson are foreign MDs.
It's not just a Cuban thing here any longer. There are so many *tongues* spoken here - it's like the United Nations....no, really, a real melting pot, a lot like NYC....and if you only speak one language, you will run into problems.....AND it's not just Miami, the multiethnicities have moved all the way up north of Orlando...central and south florida.
I still love it
Yes, it is hot in Miami and sadly quite

they are not allowed in miami-dade county
Pit bulls are either not allowed in Miami-Dade County in Florida but I heard something about having $600,000 insurance if you own one.....but that COULD be Broward County where they are allowed. I'm in Miami.
