my 30th birthday party

It all started with my co-worker Susan insisting that we go to this fancy restaurant outside of Rittenhouse Square, this super bourgeoisie restaurant in one of the most expensive parts of the city (Jamie Fox stayed in a hotel in this neighborhood while filming "Law Abiding citizen". Afterwards I traveled up to NY and went to a comedy show where the main event was a Rugby player who used chugging beer as a main part of his act. He actually was quite entertaining and did something I've never seen before. AKA - stone cold steve austin chugging a beer. (look it up)

Heidi's First Birthday

Philly Big Snow Storm 09

This is why I'm still in Philly and not on my way to Bismarck today. Beginning 1am Saturday morning and ending 6am Sunday a huge snow storm rolled into the area and blanketed SE Pennsylvania, southern NJ, northern DE, southern NY, and all the way down to Virginia. At first they were predicting 3-6 inches. That turned into 6-8, then 10-12, then 8-14, and finally 10-20. Yesterday they said Philadelphia received 16 inches and it wasn't even finished snowing yet. They say it is the second biggest December snow storm on record here. Here is the aftermath in my neighborhood..My doorstep. Lazy landlord

In front of my apartment. Looks like the red car tried to get out and failed. Now they're up on the curb!!

It is hard to see but those are garbage trucks with plows hooked on the front plowing the snow off the street!

One block away

Two blocks away. All I can say to the owner of the car in the forefront is - good luck!

As you can see the trolleys are still able to plow through the snow and go down their tracks.

People waiting for the trolley on the street because the sidewalks aren't cleared.
