Here a few cool pictures (at least I think so) from my trip up to and back from Ft Myers, Florida to Philadelphia, Pa.

I just spent a few days in Southampton, Pa. A lovely suburb of Philadelphia. We took a direct flight up to Phila International and then the R2 train to Warminster station, then got a ride from family.

As the plane was making it's decent to Phila airport, I was accutely aware of the differences between Phila and Bonita Springs, Fl.

For one thing ... the weather! Believe it or not, it was hotter and more humid in Phila than Southwest Fl. It was also grey and poured all day on Friday.

Phila is a special town, for sure. It's the birthplace of liberty. The home of top notch culture, sports teams and diversity. But ... let's face it ... it's old. And dirty. And grey. I'm just saying.

When you get used to new and clean and shiny ... well...I'm spoiled. I missed the palm trees and sunshine and blue skies. I felt a little out of place and wonky, being away from the city feel for so long. I saw things with a new perspective.

Then on the other hand ..... I was born and raised in Philly, and there is a certain pride and a "toughness" that belongs to the Philly crowd. And I will always be part of that. Besides, where else in the world can you get the BEST soft pretzels, hoagies and Tastykakes? No where!

And while I'm at it ... there are NO fans in the world like EAGLES fans!(especially when they are killing playing Dallas. The greatest rivalry ever.) We are known for being tough, hard to please and quick to turn... but always diehard and passionate and green!

Ya know ... I think I miss Philly. Dirt and all.

 GO E-A-G-L-E-S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
