Happy holidays to everyone. I am back in NY (Hunter and Windham - less than 4 hours from center city) for a few days of skiing with the family but will be back for one the Christmas Eve parties (#1). If anyone has interest in heading up north next week after Christmas please let me know. And we are still taking reservations for Killington and Tahoe.

Eagles....Miracle in the Meadowlands II.....so nice. Overshadowed Andy not throwing the flag on the Desean non-fumble earlier. I think he also messed up on a Giants fumble on one of their scoring drives. He clearly needs a better system that has someone watching the replays from home can call on their cell phone to him. As I mentioned after the Houston game, the away team has a disadvantage - I guarantee they did not play the replay for him inside the stadium. Eagles to clinch Sunday night....let me know if at the stadium.

My buddy Dennis sold 4,100 tickets so far for his New Years parties. Do not think he has that many left for those still looking to lock up some plans.

Please let me know if you or someone you know can help me with either of these A): I am looking for an expert in security cameras for my Temple properties B) I also am looking for anyone that can help me with a fiberglass roof for a Philadelphia row home roofdeck.

Just realized I did not include a newsletter last week which means I did not comment on Lee giving us a big 4. Thought this article shows how special it could be. Our ticket prices are already ridiculous so spending the additional $$ can't cost us that much more, right? And something else that I skipped is Howard Stern signing for 5 more years - I assume some of you are happy about it with me.

In the last newsletter, I gave a link to where you can find a prostitute in Philly, so this week I share where you can get heroin.

Several local officials testified in a joint hearing of Philadelphia’s Oversight and Transportation and Public Utilities Committees regarding the impact of a FAA plan for expanding the Philadelphia International Airport. Echoing the concerns of several others, state Sen. Ted Erickson told committee members that expanding the airport further into Tinicum would “destroy the very fabric of the township.” The plan would cost about $5.35 billion and require the demolition of 72 houses, according to a final environmental impact statement the FAA released earlier this year. Another 330 houses would require noise mitigation, while about 80 businesses would be shuttered, affecting an estimated 3,515 employees. Airport CEO Mark Gale testified in support of the plan, saying the work would create construction jobs and shave 14 minutes off of the average delay at the airport by 2025.

We already have 2 cats and a kitten, so we’re maxed out. Please let us know if you are interested, otherwise we’ll have to send them to an animal rescue.
