- If you found yourself in Center City yesterday wondering exactly what was going on, we have the answer: OutFest 2009. Also celebrated yesterday was the city's downsized Columbus Day celebration.
- And speaking of Columbus Day, here's a helpful list to help you determine what's closed for the holiday.
- Note to armed robbers: quit while you're ahead.
- This armed robber, meanwhile, makes us want to install security cameras in our house.
- An interesting story about a historic cemetery located in a neighborhood formerly known as the Badlands.
- Central High School will be inducting several famous alums into its Hall of Fame this Thursday, among them, Larry Fine.
- Color us jealous: Collegeville just got a Wegmans. The closest one to Philadelphia proper, however, remains the one in Cherry Hill.
- A fire in Warminster yesterday sent fifteen people to the hospital. Fortunately, however, no one was killed.
- Donovan McNabb made his return yesterday, and it was a triumphant one. Of course, it helped that the Birds were playing the hapless Bucs. McNabb threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns, including two to rookie Jeremy Maclin—the first touchdowns of Maclin's NFL career—as we rolled over Tampa 33-14.
- The Phightin's outlasted the Rockies in the cold last night for a 6-5 victory, capped by Ryan Howard's RBI sac fly and—wait for it—a non-blown save by Brad Lidge. The Phillies will try to close out the series and move on to the NLCS tonight.

I randomly woke up at 2am and turned the tv on to see a 6-5 score and Lidge coming to the mound for the bottom of the 9th. I thought for a minute I was having a nightmare. And then as I watched with my stomach in knots, he actually made the save. After checking for a second time that I wasn't dreaming I went back to sleep a happy camper.
Today is "Native American Day" in South Dakota.
