Looks kind a different now though.
Somewhere to write, discuss, reflect, ponder, muse and mull over life, stuff, things and anything that takes my fancy.

Did you hear that after you all host the summer games in 2012 that Philadelphia is going to try and host the games for 2016!!! Now, my mother and I are planning on attending the 2012 games, but how sweet would it be to have our own games here 4 years later! 🙂>>At least, we HOPE so!!!
