Gotta Love Those Phillies!

Here’s what living in Center City affords you.  Mrs. CCC and I went to the ball game on Tuesday night.  We had the tickets well in advance, so it wasn’t hard to plan our night.  It was a great game and great weather, so we really enjoyed ourselves. 


We had been talking about seeing the new-look Pirates this weekend, but with no tickets and little prospect of getting any, we had resigned ourselves to watching the games on TV.  But at 2 PM on Friday, I made one last check on-line and some decent, affordable tickets were available.  I called Mrs. CCC and she cleared our appointment calendar and we were ready to go.  I could have closed up shop at that point because all I thought about was the game and the post-game fireworks.  So I got home changed and off we went.  The new-look Pirates looked a lot like the old Pirates and the Phils won 10-3 going away with Roy Halladay pitching 7 shutout innings.  Afterwards, the fireworks show was dazzling, the best in the city.  A quick train ride and we were back on Green St, in no time flat.  A great evening made better by the convenience of living in Center City.
