Upon moving to Philly last September we heard about a new internet provider that was springing up all around the city of Philadelphia. Earthlink partnered with the city to set up wi-fi throughout the entire city. We signed up for this because it was only $6.95 per month for wi-fi internet. It has served us well but now we are most likely experiencing the reason for why it was so cheap. As of June 12, Earthlink Wi-Fi Philadelphia will be terminated throughout the city. Being so, we will lose our internet connection for an undetermined time until we get connection through another provider. I haven't been blogging for a couple weeks now but that was because of my laziness or lack of thought. Now, I will be forced to not blog for a while. In doing, I will simply lay out a couple thoughts for the time I will be silent.
-Rachel and I celebrated 2 years of marriage on June 3. We travelled to Rhode Island and spent the weekend on the coast. Beautiful! 2 years of marriage, what an amazing blessing!
-the NBA Finals should be a good one. For some strange reason I have been pulling for LA throughout the entire playoffs. The way they play together is compelling me to root for them. I think more than anything I hope it goes 7 games (with the Lakers winning). That way, Kobe will be quiet for awhile and the NBA will be happy with all of the ratings and $ they pull in.
-the Cubs are playing great baseball (9 game winning streak, 38-21 record, 1st place in the NL Central).
-the Phillies are also playing great baseball and are an incredible offensive team. Chase Utley leading the Majors with 21 homeruns. Could it be the beginnings of a 3rd straight Philadelphia Phillies player to win the NL MVP.
-I have been to 3 Phillies game so far this year (2 of the games the tickets were given to me) at Citizens Bank Ballpark and I really enjoy the stadium. It is definitely a modern stadium with the jumbo screen and the activities in between innings and such. It made me think of the vast difference from watching a game at Wrigley Field than at Citizens Bank Ballpark. Watching a game at Wrigley, (or Yankee Stadium, or Fenway for that matter) is strictly pure baseball. They don't have the flashy big screens and all the fanfare activities, you go there to watch baseball. The way watching baseball should be.
-I received in the mail earlier this week the 2007-2008 Kansas Jayhawk basketball season DVD. It has been great reliving the Jayhawks run to the National Championship. Rock Chalk Jayhawk.
-Rachel and I have been reading the Chronicles of Narnia together. This will be Rachel's first time reading through the series and she is loving it so far. This will be my third time reading through it and I am always captivated and intrigued by the story. What great stories!
That's all until we get online again.
