THE PHILLIES WIN THE PENNANT!

Now that I have your attention...

THE PHILLIES WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh my-lanta!  This is so super exciting I can't stand it!!!  We're going to the World Series and this is amazing.  Philly sports is phenomenal right now (except for the Sixers, which is fine since I'm not a basketball fan).  Sports in Philly is more unifying than any other subject. We could all agree on things political, musical, and ecumenical, but nothing binds this town like our teams. The city needs to stop wasting its grease on the poles because nothing is going to stop us when our teams are on fire. 

 

I still love my job, although I've gone from supervising children to supervising adults. It's more difficult than I thought it would be. I'd like to take this opportunity to offer some words of advice.

For the love of all that is holy, UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION on your child's file. The amount of incorrect phone numbers and email addresses that I've encountered so far this year is unbelievable. That makes my job quite difficult and will ultimately lead to me showing up at your house with paperwork and a pen. If I have to go out of my way to do this, you better offer me some good snacks. 

Also, if the school asks you to call them back, CALL THEM BACK. You can't tell me you don't have 2.5 minutes to verify something. Again, this may lead to someone showing up at your door requesting your signature and a snack. What if there were a true emergency?!?!?!?!?!? You'd be SOL.

Speaking of work, this is what happens when you let a Millennial and a GenX work together:

                  

Millennial: I want to decorate!
GenX: I'm up for whatever. 

This month's health break is brought to you by the letter C. Not only is C for Cookie, but it's also for Chiropractor. I feel relaxed, taller, and happy when I leave my chiropractor. It's a wonderful way to get yourself back on track. It's not weird, crazy hippie magic like some people believe. Although it kinda is, and I'm down for that. Look how complicated we are under our skin. I highly recommend Dr. Philip Demond in Delaware to help you out. 

So to sum up: Find a good chiropractor, do some holiday crafting, update your child's information, bake me some Toll House cookies, and I'll meet you at Frankford and Cottman when we win the World Series. We'll go to Mayfair Diner afterward for breakfast.
