May is the prettiest month

OK, so now your Center City Correspondent is officially annoyed. I try not to kvetch in these pages, but every once in a while I feel like I’ve been handed lemons and all I can make is piles of lemons. On a beautiful sun-kissed day, the Phils played the Cubs in an afternoon game, and I had to sit and watch it at home. They left it late, scoring the winning run in the eighth, and then holding on for the win, just my kind of game. When I started working at the Phillies, this was just the type of game and weather I envisioned. Being cooped up here on the third floor is not a lot of fun, but I have to be patient until the surgery next week. That drumming noise you hear are my fingers on the desk.


So not much to report from Center City, except that my son is leaving Florida and returning to Philadelphia. This news is making Mrs. CCC ecstatic. I guess he wants to get his life back on track and this is the best place to do it, around his family and friends who can lend him support and guidance. He should be back around the 1st of June, so if anybody knows of any job openings for a young, industrious guy, let me know. Where he gets a job will determine where he lives. If he’s learned nothing else from his old man, at least he’s learned that.

Be careful out there. Maybe that should be my new motto. Go Phillies!!
