A Boy And His Dog
Louden went to his first football game today …
… and I took this awesome picture of him on the field. It was a Philadelphia public league playoff game between Germantown and Lincoln and the former’s homefield.

Phillies Beat Cubs 4-3
At last check, the Phillies and Cubs were tied at three in the battle for Louden’s fandom soul (and, ostensibly, mine too).
Today, the Phillies brought Ryne Sandberg on to manage Triple A Lehigh Valley. I became a Cubs fan when the Phillies traded Sandberg to Chicago. Ergo, if the battle was a seven-game series,...

Katy Perry won’t be on Sesame Street anytime soon
… because Sesame Street said it won’t be airing this segment, which I proudly preserve for posterity’s sake anyway.
