@HughE_Dillon @phillymag Sorry to hear, Hughe. I hope something new comes together soon.

After 15 years I was laid off from @phillymag last Friday. I want to thank them for giving this blogger who decided to cover events for fun, after working daytime paralegal job, a society column, in a magazine my mom subscribed to since I was a kid. It was a dream come true. 😍

@HotAsPuck $90 isn’t bad, but I personally prefer behind the dugout in the 100s if you wanted to splurge

are Hall of Fame Club tickets behind home plate for 90$ each worth it? it would be for when the Braves come to Philly end of May. I've never sat in HOF seats, we normally sit around 210-206. so it would also be for the view/experience 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Phillies

Frame it. #SBLIX

@ambersarcone Don’t understand why he’s not.

@drantbradley Job prospects? Transferring your credits? Why is no one concerned about this?

Theological education is a real mess at the moment. So many people are enrolled in schools that are not accredited. If it ends in .org, it's not accredited. There are a lot of fake accreditation bodies out there fully "accrediting" schools out of someone's basement. What gives?

@ambersarcone 😂

@RickSteves Praying for you

I’d like to take a moment to share some important news. I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My doctor assures me that, if you’re going to get cancer, this is a good kind to get, and careful scans show no sign of it having spread. There is a clear path forward to getting healthy, and this fall, I’ll be in the hospital for a few days having prostate surgery. My doctor’s fine with me filming two new TV shows in France for the next three weeks, returning home to Edmonds by mid-September. I’ll likely get my surgery in late September, be laid up for a month, and—God willing—be cancer-free and back at it by the end of October. I have great trust in my doctor and in Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. And I have lots more to be thankful for…including the support of friends and loved ones and a strong faith that I’m in good hands. While the statistics tell me I should be just fine, I’ve been fortunate to have never spent a night in a hospital — and I find myself going into this adventure almost like it’s some amazing, really important trip. I feel good about my positive attitude — and I expect to take home some delightful, if intangible, souvenirs like: appreciating and seeing a vibrancy in the little things; appreciating the goodness in people and the treasure of friends and family; being wowed by modern medicine and the army of amazing, smart, and dedicated people that make it possible; appreciating what a blessing life, health, and this world to enjoy is; and — just in general — being more thankful. I’m looking forward to many more years of happy travels, exciting collaborations, and beautiful friendships. Thank you for your love and support (and any “travel tips” you may have for me as I set off on this journey). Rick PS: I’ll keep you posted.
