This blog began as a way to record my musings about preparations and travels to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada February 16-27, 2010. From that amazing experience came this ongoing story of becoming a sports fan. You can follow my tales of awe, agony, and all the emotions in between as well as view pics from seasons of Phillies baseball. Along the way is a little Eagles football thrown in for fun, and even some astronomy and weather related tales. I feel lucky to have witnessed some historic games, some heartbreaking losses, but all wonderful when told from this new fan's point of view.

Phillies had a great season!

It is  now the end of the season for the Philadelphia Phillies, who  made a valiant effort to become the National League champs for the third straight year. It was a great year, so this is a chance for me to capture my memories and pictures of a summer and early fall filled with contentment,excitement, thrill, satisfaction, many exhilarating wins, poignant disappointments,  and some excruciatingly difficult  losses,  These posts will be about my many experiences seeing the Phillies, live, live, live. (oh, and one Yankees game, too), and other sports that come my way . You might even read more about hockey, figure skating, basketball, football and curling -and one of my favorite 'sports' -DANCE.    Ya never know!
