Been a few weeks since the last email. Work has been keeping me busy.
Have been able to have some fun though. Was able to catch one of the Mumford & Sons shows (which was good- big band with them), already been to three Flyers games this season), made it up to Mt. Snow, Vermont for a weekend, and tonight will be my first 76ers game in many years.
Killington, VT trip has some spots available March 15th weekend.
Erin Express is coming up with the 'warm up' Express this weekend.
Does anyone find it funny how the government can create a law for you or me but exempt themselves from the law? Here is one example courtesy of city council in Philadelphia.
If any one has interest in the building of the Ben Franklin Bridge, here are some of the first photos of the bridge being built.

1) The Villains Attic (from Ron Hansen)
I've found so many cool things over the years looking for new stuff for the RaceChairs products, that I started a new site. VillainsAttic.com is a collection of unique lifestyle and convenience items for the modern gentlemen. Since the site is new, I want people to initially get as excited about this stuff as I am, so I created a coupon code “zwickâ€Â that will give anyone from your list a free Travelo travel atomizer with their first purchase ($18 value). www.villainsattic.com
