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.

2015 Begins

On the eve of the snowiest day of the season, just a few hours before the rain would soon turn to 7 inches of snow, Peter and I excitedly sit and pick tickets for the upcoming season. April, May June, July, August, September. Night games, day games, fireworks, strolling the bases. This year, we have a new compadre in Joe, so I will have my two color commentators with me at each game.
On tap will be the Marlins, Mets, Orioles, Pirates, and more.

I logged on to my Phillies account, but  decided not to pay the 4$ a ticket charge. Instead Friday, when the streets and sidewalks were still icy and snow covered, I took the subway down to the ballpark. There she was, the same woman who I see in the summer, ready to take my complex order.

Lovin' this.

Then there was the Flower Show. Among the Disney movie themed exhibits and blue ribbon daffodils was the lifesize Phanatic in topiary.  

Lovin' this
