Crazy week with celebrating Halloween weekend, then Sandy, and then Halloween night. Fortunately for center city PHL, the storm was really nothing more than some wind and rain with crowded bars which clearly was not the case elsewhere.
The Saints have been setting a NFL record pace for giving up the most yards through this point of the season.....I think we will help lower their average on Monday night. Good to have the NBA back but would rather watching the Flyers.
If anyone is available tomorrow, there is a nice charity even (#1). I am sure I will be sharing some Sandy fundraisers in the coming weeks. - Mark
