Coolest Block

Check this out. Superwife won our entire block a free roof! She went door to door gaining signatures, explaining the contest to our neighbors, and filling out the application. I'll see if I can get her to write a few words on the press conference she and the girls had with the Mayor yesterday on the top of one of the city's skyscrapers, but in the meantime click the link for an article on her "cool" accomplishment.

Press announcement here:

Great essay! I hope that the 2 typos were made at the hands of the person posting your essay online!! Sorry, it's the teacher in me!

I didn't even read the essay on the ECA website until I read this. And I found THREE typos that were not in the essay I submitted. They just asked me to send the photo I took of Linda & Elizabeth holding a big sign that says 'Pick Us' and I think I might comment on the typos. I don't want the whole world thinking I'm retarded.

I knew that couldn't have been your mistake! I just had to point it out...I don't want the whole world to think that the best Philly has to offer can't even spell!!

For Linda & Elizabeth's sake, I hope I'm not the best Philly has to offer! I sent the corrections to the ECA last night and they responded with "I’m really sorry about the typos! I’ll send the corrections to the person managing the website right away and get that taken care of." So hopefully in a couple days I'll be looking a little smarter.
