As this year’s World Series proves, if you hang on long enough you won’t suck forever :-).

In case you don’t follow American Baseball (and let’s face it, who does) the Philadelphia Phillies just won the World Series. This in a city that hasn’t seen a professional sports championship since 1983. Some blamed the drought on the violation of an unspoken agreement that no building would be erected higher than the top of the statue of William Penn atop City Hall and such a building was erected. Recently the tallest building in the city was built and a tiny statue of Mr. Penn was placed atop it just to appease him and it seems to have worked.

Superstition, faith, conviction and dedication sometimes pay off. Above all else you just have to keep plodding on.

I’m grateful for a reason to smile :-).

And now we return you to music and art…….

Congrats Philadelphia!
