Time to start thinking positive: there is a yellow thing in the sky and he will start liking us this weekend.
This week moved quickly for me. Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood Friday, my first wakeboarding turns of the season, MojitoFest, and watched the Hangover. And there is that thing called work and watching the Phils have an awful week.
Here is an interesting link. Guys should be happy and females need to move out Philly: http://www.epodunk.com/county_data2/mw39.html
I saw a great 1000 square foot condo at $225,000 in the warehouse district if anyone has interest….. - Mark

The Society of Progressive Drinkers (SoPD) June Meeting will be Thursday, June 25, 2009 at the London Grill in the Fairmount/Art Museum Area!!!
For our June meeting we were venturing for into the quadrant of Philadelphia north of Market Steet and west of Broad Street (eagled-eyed SoPDers will remind me that Tir Na Nog, which technically meets those same specifications, was the first time we did so). London Grill is especially known for their part in planning the annual Bastille Day at Eastern State Penitentiary – for my money the best day of the year to be in Philadelphia. They make a special effort to buy local food products, and are giving us a $2 Kronenbourg special! Quelle affaire étonnante!
Don’t forget to invite everyone you know…
Thursday, June 25, 2009!
starting at 8, stick around until whenever
