| Hope everyone enjoyed their summer kick off. Avalon was a good time as always. No rain to complain about but could have used some more sunshine. I jumped out early on Monday to catch the Phillies game. Also went to the game on Wednesday night. With those two losses, I am now a resounding 1-4 in games attended this season.
A reminder that Center City sips starts June 3rd. It is always a fun day - especially when the weather is nice. http://www.centercityphila.org/incentercity/sips2009/index_p2n.php
Is anyone planning to catch any Phish shows this summer? If so, please let me know.
Bike race is coming.... - Mark

8) KITTENS
I am currently fostering three kittens for PAWS animal shelter. They are overwhelmed with litters of kittens right now and are seeking help fostering to make room for new litters that come in every day. These babies are soooo adorable - they are three brothers from the same litter, approximately 6 weeks old. I need to try to help find them good homes while they are with me…attached are photos of them. They are sweet, energetic, loving little guys and they deserve a FOREVER home! If you or anyone you know might be interested in adopting one or all of them (JJJ), please send them my way. carnao@comcast-spectacor.com
