Hometown Inspirations

The 251st day of 2017 was a good one.  I had PTO on 9/8/17, but I did still go to campus for a lunch. Today was the last day in SRFS of a cherished colleague of mine.  She and I are very similar in beliefs, spirit, and work ethic.  I say she is my twin at work, so I will miss her.  One of the other similarities we have is that we are both Philly kids, Mayor's Scholars, and folks that did not stray far from our hometown (or alma mater) to work.  And, tonight, as I drove Anna to and from her babysitting assignment in West Philly, I drove past a lot of places I lived.  Including my childhood home at 911 S. 47th Street.  And the apartment building at 48th and Pine where I lived early on.  I am inspired by working, at Penn, in the neighborhood in which I grew up.  I love Philadelphia, and am glad we are here.  So let's enjoy a little Bruce, and not the song about Philadelphia.
