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.

Winter haitus

A rough winter as ice skating is on hold to recover from a back injury. But the '76ers are doing great this year, and the Drexel basketball team made an historic 17 straight game winning streak, though sadly  did not get invited to the dance.


I think I will be able to make my goal: to be able to walk to and from the subway station and up to the 400 level of the ballpark without (too much) pain. To this end, continued physical therapy and doctoring.
