We play Riverside 4/24 @ 2:30pm at Springton for the right to represent the Philadelphia district at Middle States Sectionals in June. Sectionals is where the winners or New Jersey, Delaware, Pittsburgh, Central PA, Eastern PA and Philadelphia compete to represent the Middle States Section at the National Championships November 13-15 in Tucson, AZ. We lost our first match of the season but as someone said well, life is the about the journey – not the destination.

To keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next installment of the Pork Chops blog #BestTnsBlogEva, here are 3 things I’ll cover in my next post:
What is the total retail value of everything in a Target store? What’s your guess, $5Million, $50 Million, $100 Million?
How to cook the perfect steak? I have pics and a video. I simply love this method. I
will show you raw to table a 2” ribeye and a 2” filet – perfectly seared and evenly cooked medium rare top to bottom.
And the 3rd topic is, Why do cats bury their poop? The topic came up amongst by boys (amazing what we discuss) and I asked Gregory to google it. Reading a top response, he replied, “it’s because they are being submissive to the alpha male in their environment.” One of the wisest and most brilliant people I know told me, “that’s hogwash.” I have a meeting with the person responsible for large cats at the Philadelphia Zoo coming up – I wonder what I’ll learn…
So wrapping up – my 8.0 team has 2 matches Sunday 4/12. Should we win all 6 individual courts we’ll advance. Go PCA!! We can do it!!
Cash is dead. I forgot my debit card walking in to Whole Foods. I had no cash on me and had to do the walk of shame and go back to my car and get my card. Why doesn’t Whole Foods accept Apple Pay? I’m looking forward to paying with my Apple watch in the near future.
In closing with my tech report, I’m looking forward to the new the Surface 4 with Windows 10 which will be out in the Fall. I can’t recommend the Surface enough. A Surface means you’re never late – it also means that I spend half of my life in parking lots.
