Thursday, 12/2 -- Be nice to my city.
I managed to pull myself together today and get myself to work. I’m still doing about 4 hours a day in the office, when I can.
It’s good for me to get up and out of the house. I feel a great need to reconnect with the outside world. I’ve been isolated and lonely for too long. Going to work is just one way to shake off those cobwebs.
I love Center City during December; all the stores are all Christmassy, people shopping, etc, etc.
Despite all the tarnish that has been put on the city’s reputation, Philadelphia really is a beautiful city.
I’m not a frequent world traveler, but I have been to a number of cities across this country, as well as New Zealand and Australia. From what little I’ve seen, Philly has more going for it than most average cities.
Top favorite cities, besides Philly:
San Francisco, California
Montreal, Canada
Christchurch, New Zealand
Adelaide, South Australia
Hobart, Tasmania
Cities that I’ve got a hankerin’ to visit:
Seattle, Washington
New Orleans, Louisiana
London, England
Toronto, Canada
Perth, Australia
Dublin, Ireland
Glasgow, Scotland
and many more.

Seattle, Washington: I'm hoping to go back for a 2nd visit in June 2005. Wanna come with?
The last time I was in center city Philadelphia, I was floored at how clean it had become. Although I live just outside the city, I’ve been to New York City more times than to downtown Philly. And while NYC is a great city, a completely unique experience, Philadelphia really has everything going in its favor lately (‘cept for that lil’ oil spill).
If you go to Dublin just stow me away in a suitcase and take me with you. (It’s probably how my great-grandparents got here in the first place, anyway.)
