Missing a hubcap, but we've got marathon pictures!

Tonight, Sarah and I went to the local grocery store. When we returned to the car, I was dismayed to find out that my right front hubcap had disappeared! We drove around the parking lot looking for it, but were unsuccessful. Why just one? And why even take one? Kind of rediculous...and annoying. Any ideas where I can pick up an extra hubcap for a Chevy Prizm?

In more positive news, we started our classroom ballroom dancing lessons today. Despite the mixed response at first, kids mostly enjoyed the time. The big issue was holding hands and dancing with a partner, but thankfully, the instructors are easing them into it. So far, no partners.

Jim and Teresa Sorge are coming to Philadelphia! Sarah and I know both of them very well--I lived in the same building as Jim for all four years in college, while Sarah danced almost every day with Teresa. Teresa will be starting her masters in dance at Temple in either January or September, and Jim is job hunting. If anyone knows of an open position for a biology, chemistry, french major who is brilliant, let me know!

The official marathon pictures are now online. Sarah and I will be ordering one of us crossing the finish line, even though it is the most expensive 5x7 I will probably ever buy in my life. If you want to see them, visit this website. Our bib numbers are 7648 and 7649.

Valentine's Day in the city of brotherly love

Last night before bed, I did a snow day dance. The weather man predicted 1-3 inches of snow along with sleet and freezing rain--an ideal combination for calling off school. I woke up this morning, checked the website, and did a happy dance: all public and Archdiocese schools closed! So beautiful.

I went into Center City for a doctor's appointment this afternoon, and I've spent a good part of the rest of the time working on my laptop in Sarah's apartment (although there was a Wendy's run for a free jr. vanilla frosty...). She's been studying hard-core for a big exam this Friday...and we're in the home stretch. I say "we" because it affects me too! I do my best to support and encourage in the time constraints, but sometimes I do better than others.

The weekend after an exam is always filled with joyous celebration. This weekend, there's a formal ball on Friday night, and we're going to go visit the Carters at Princeton on Saturday! Maybe some bowling on Sunday night too?? I don't have school Monday for President's Day! I do like this year's schedule.

Sarah just got an e-mail from Teresa Sorge saying that she and Jim are coming to visit Philly next week! Teresa is auditioning at one of the local schools for their masters program, and there's a chance the two of them would move out here in the fall! Who'd of thunk it?
