I had a monster run yesterday. 11.13 miles and I felt very strong; could have run all day long! Abbe and I are coming Disney, get ready!

As Bubs and I pulled into the rink parking lot, we noticed a long line of folks on the sidewalk. I asked what was going on and a nice lady said the Flyers had just finished practice and some stop to sign stuff. So Bubs and I had some time before his game and sure enough, Sergei Bobrovsky showed up and signed Bubs’ t-shirt. A little while later, Max Talbot pulled up where everyone was, got out of his car and signed stuff until the line was gone. Both players were incredibly nice and that really put a big smile on Bubs’ face.

Oh and before I forget, look at this… the folks at my favorite Phillies’ blog, We Should Be GMs put up a nice article promoting our Stand-Up to Cancer comedy night with Mo Mandel (Helium Comedy Club in Philly, December 1st – if interested in tickets, they are $15, please contact myself or Abbe for details). Thanks Corey and Carson, you guys rock!

Well, yesterday was a bad day for Philly sports – the Eagles and Phils lost, but we got to spend a day with Big Tom, Aunt Cis, and my mom down at Cape May. And yes, we got to get some seriously great grub at the Lobster House. After filling our bellies and stopping for Tom to do a little shopping, we stopped in at Penza’s Pies in Hammonton on the way home.

That night, we had our first fire of the season and Tom and Mom came over to watch Breaking Bad with us. Abbe and I have been waiting 2 years to watch Breaking Bad with our big buddy from New Mexico, when he introduced the show to us during our visit out in Las Cruces and Cloudcroft.

Tonight, we are having dinner at Mom’s with more great friends, the Oates and tomorrow night we’re heading to see The Gourds, one of Tom’s favorite bands.

Bubs had his first hockey game on full ice today. The white team got trounced but, he had a blast. The boys in white did not have a lot of offensive opportunities, but Bubs did a good job on the faceoffs he took while playing center. Viv and I spent most of the game chatting with Dr. Koren, the father of one of Bubs’ buddies who was on the opposing team. Next week, 7am game in Atlantic City! Yikes that’s going to be early, but I couldn’t be happier than waking up to take my son to the game.

Big Tom arrives tonight! We can’t wait to see him. We missed our big gentle giant from New Mexico. Hopefully, he will come watch Breaking Bad with us Sunday evening.

On the dog adopting front, things are moving along with Brookline Lab Rescue. We have inquired on a few pups and it won’t be long before the pitter patter of big dog feet will be heard in our home again.

Oh and before I forget… GO PHILS!!!!!

First off… what an amazing night of baseball last night! The Phils knocked the Braves out of the playoffs, got their franchise record 102nd win of the season, and made Charlie the winningest manager in Phillies history. I do feel bad for my BoSox/Bravos friends out there, that is just a crushing way to end a season.

At our last visit to Longswamp, Abbe’s mother, Jane shared The Duck Song with us and I knew I had to get a copy of the book for Viv to read. Lo and behold, what arrived via intralibrary loan yesterday? Oh yeah… and I think someone else is enjoying the book too…

Tonight, Bubs and I are going to the Flyers-Devils preseason game. I got really lucky on some incredible seats – we are going to be right behind the player benches, 2nd row! They haven’t announced the line-ups yet for tonight’s game, but I really hope we get to see Jagr skate tonight.
