Sojourns

I don’t have to tell my readers how much I enjoy living and working in Center City. But every once in a while, Mrs. CCC and I have to escape the concrete confines of town and sojourn to greener places. Especially in the month of August when the heat builds up and the air gets so thick you have to chew it first before breathing. A lady friend of ours invited us to spend some time with her in Cape May. It’s been 40 years since I was last in Cape May. One reason for that is that I always thought it took so long to get to the shore. I think the last time we went down there we took the Delsea Drive. But we went on a late Monday morning and it only took 1.5 hours to get there on the high speed roads. We had a delightful time, doing the touristy things and sampling the food and drink offered. Great seafood and blue drinks! Thanks so much to Kay for her hospitality.


After being home for a few days, Mrs. CCC wanted to get out of town again. She wanted to go to someplace where there was grass and flowers. Naturally I thought of a baseball park, so we checked the schedule and off we went to beautiful Camden, New Jersey to see the Riversharks play. Campbell’s Field is nestled below the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, right by the Delaware River. So when you lose interest in the game you can be distracted by the many forms of transportation visible from your seat: cars, buses, Hi-Speed line on the bridge, boats churning along the river under the bridge, and planes flying over the bridge. We also got to watch a beautiful sunset behind the bridge and Center City, and as the clouds drifted away, a nice quarter moon appeared in the evening sky. After the game, we were treated to a fireworks display, and then kids get to run the bases. Don’t ever tell me I can’t show a girl a good time.

Have a good week and Go Phils!!
