How i spend my summer vacation w/ the Philadelphia Phillies, the prequel

a few pics from my ill-fated train ride to Philadelphia. I was summoned to Citizens Bank Park (the greatest ballpark there is!) to kick-start my stoke as i prepare for Season 4 of "How i spend my summer vacation w/ the Philadelphia Phillies." I was supposed to be there @ 6pm and i figured i'd be able to leave before 9:30 so i looked up the schedule for the R2, and damn if i didn't have two options: leave Wilmigton @ 2:45pm to arrive and putz around Philly from 4-6. Or, the 4:45 train which got into Suburban Station 5:39pm w/ a corresponding subway ride culminating @ the Pattison Ave. stop around 10 minutes to 6; perfect w/ an 8 minute walk to the employee entrace.
ETA: no later than 6:15pm.
NO!
the subway stopped for 20 minutes for no reason!??!?! and i went from being Phashionably late to actually quite tardy.
6:25pm: They sent me home!
I was Heated! i thought about Phlippin' out; i didn't.
So i stomped back to the subway, enhanced my calm, and got focused about some goddamn fried chicken. Church's Chicken. 3 piece w/ biscuit for 2.99. Yes! i got a drumstick (which i ate whilst walkin' to Track 3), and two giant hunks o' chicken. You see, i'm pretty sure it was a thigh and a breast. But this chicken was crunchy and greazzy as to obscure the senses. It had skin like they tossed Plastic Man in the deep fryer.
Great Bird!

i got back to Wilmington @8:37pm. I walked from the train station. I walked a lot all day. Afterwards, i kept it casual.
Wednesday, i took big Shirley, my sweet ride, even if she was bereft of gas, and smells like oil burnin', and everytime i start 'er up she be all "Change OIl Soon!" I figure this weekend is soon.
It was no Prob! and illustrated just how stupid i was to take the train: the meeting lasted way past 9:30, i would of had to schlepp my gear, an award of excellence, a goodie bag, my vital Host documents! all thru the subway, R2, and a 2 mile walk through Wilmington.
i'm soo stupid; but public transportation is stupider still!! i can't use it. i'm gonna be going from Wilmington to damn near 85 times and i might be able to utilize it 6 times. That's whack! they need an 11:35pm train from Philadelphia to Wilmington.

weird phun fact: the rest rooms in Suburban Station are open from 7am to 11pm.
good luck droppin' turds past 11:05.

Go Phils!
