Photoshopping me into that picture ruined the only good thing about it. |

There were some moments for sure. I don't know if you are familiar with the story of Immaculata basketball, but it’s one of the great sports stories. In the early 1970s, they won three consecutive women's national championships. This was an all-girl school of 800 with no home gym -- home games were played on an indoor court with no bleachers, or at local high schools. No scholarships, games played on weekday afternoons, not even a team bus, they carpooled to games. This was before the NCAA even ran women's basketball. There was a 16-team tournament and the Mighty Macs had to hold fundraisers to attend. The students used to stand at intersections to collect money. The coach was a recent college grad named Cathy Rush, wife of NBA ref Ed Rush. She had to buy her own plane ticket, and they couldn't afford to even take the whole team. But they won national titles in 72, 73 and 74. The rules had just been changed so that all players could cross the mid-court line and you were allowed more than two dribbles. The women's game took off right after that -- the Macs were in one of the first nationally televised games in 1975. It's not something that could happen today. The girl I was dating was not on the team. But I did buy a Mighty Mac toothbrush and travel bag from her to support the cause.

It just occurred to me -- if your brother is used to driving in LA, Philly even with 95 caved in will seem like a spin through the countryside. Oh yea. He was telling me that even rush hour traffic back from Newark Airport to my place in Central Jersey was a walk in the park compared to standstill LA traffic. Its a different animal out there. Kaybli, how did your brother do getting into Philly? |

Not knowing the cities I invariably wound up in sections of it where it was questionable… |

Its a different animal out there. Kaybli, how did your brother do getting into Philly? He was fine. Took 295 instead of 95 adding some driving time but the traffic wasn’t bad. Thanks for asking! 👍 |
