It was the start of a new year in many ways, but first we had to acknowledge the orange candy bar
and then we could record Ben on his first day of school (11th grade).

The holidays being early this year, the first day of Rosh Hashanah came on Suzanne's first day of school but she chose to create cheeses
and salads
and apples
and challah
to go with desserts
as we prepared
for the Kramers to arrive
so that apples could be dipped in honey
and Peter could sit in the ``Jeff chair'' adding to our collection of people in the small chair
before we sat down to eat this meal

and the author in this self portrait
as desserts were served
and Suzanne maintained her end of the table.
To celebrate the second day of Rosh Hashanah, I went to Philadelphia to visit another Hall of Fame with Dr Len. This time it was the Philadelphia Athletics Museum which we entered
and then saw the heroes
and their outfits
along with tickets to Shibe Park
a letter signed by Franklin Roosevelt
some bobble head dolls
and pictures of the 1961 A's
along with signed balls
a memory of Tug McGraw
and Joe Astroth and Bobby Shantz in action.
As we made our way through the memorabilia
we saluted Richie Ashburn
and Jimmie Foxx
Roberto Clemente (not exactly a Philadelphia hero)
a piece of the Phillies 1961 team
a turnstile from Shibe Park
many signed baseballs
uniforms
hats
cards
more uniforms
more uniforms
and photos beginning with Connie Mack
and moving on to Abbott and Costello in Who's on First, ...
some items for sale
a trivia question about curve balls
a salute to Richie Ashburn
and the 1950 Whiz Kids
before I recorded the members of the Philadelphia Athletics Wall of Fame

and some final bobble head dolls
before we left the museum
and passed the record store
before noticing the world's best pretzels
where there was a display not unlike the baguette left by Sarah and Ed
and pretzels
with mustard which may not have come up to the level of world's best.
Back on the streets, we passed a specialty logo store
and a bakery with wonderful neon
before going to the local radio station and watching the broadcast happen (as in ``excuse me for a minute, I have to announce something on the airwaves'')
and then had a bite to eat before leaving town.
The next day as a prelude to my first day of school, I caught Kenny Samuels in his van
And then on my first day of school, I again noticed Kenny Samuels but my camera felt he was in motion.
Leonard Barkan came for his first chairs meeting
and Jason Gilbert and friend came for picture time (mostly me, not them).
and I headed off to the opening event of the Society of Fellows and saw Jill Dolan, Stacy Wolf and Susan Wheeler.
