Time for Some Joy in Mudville

Sure, the economy is being described in apocalyptic terms, bonuses are a bygone memory, and we’re preparing in HR for rafts of RIFs. But every once in a while you have to stand back and think about the joyful things…like the Phillies being on the verge of clinching the World Series tonight in Philadelphia. Call us what you want — Killadelphia, Filthadelphia. We don’t care. It takes a lot to get 1.5 million Philadelphians together on something. Well, we’re together on this one. And for one day, at least, we can stand back and just be happy. That’s not a bad start to a Monday.

    Gee Frank, but what about us who don't live in Mudville? Just kidding – we all have a lot to be grateful for no matter where we live. Today, it is going to be 80 degrees where I am in California. Life is still good.

    Ron, woe to those who don't live in Philly….although 80 degrees and Cali is a good trade. ;-)
