At least one of those New Year's arrests that we posted about yesterday was a complete disaster. Not only was it police gunfire that injured a 9-year-old boy at the scene, the cops arrested the wrong man and let the right man go free. They did eventually get the real culprit Tuesday night.
A man outside at a New Year's party in East Germantown, confronted by police for firing his gun into the air, turned the gun on the officers, and was in turn fired upon. Although neither police nor the gunman were hurt, three people inside the house where the party was going on were struck by stray bullets. A similar incident happened only ten minutes later in North Philadelphia. Police asked men to surrender their weapons, and instead they fled and one turned his gun on the officers, and was subsequently shot in the ankle. In all, three were arrested and four injured.
Hey, what about that other Philly politician with legal troubles, Vince Fumo? The Daily News has rounded up some handy strategies that he might use to beat the rap. Oh, and in case you're having trouble keeping up, here's a cheat sheet listing all of the charges against Fumo and the possible penalties he might face.

Even if it wasn’t one of your New Year’s resolutions, moving around is never a bad idea. One of the big problems we have is gym memberships can be expensive, and frankly we have such issues with commitment that getting locked into anything for a year is a frightening prospect. So we thought we’d look around for some cheap, noncommittal ways to get active; free is best, but the occasional class shouldn’t break the bank.

It's that time of year folks, when we all lay down plans for the new year before promptly "forgetting" about them a month later. I'm hoping that making mine public will force me to stick to them... but check back with me in February.

Dear Philadelphia Winter: The fact that I've started putting on a scarf for my walk to work means you're right around the corner, and there's no stopping you. For a significant portion of my life, I considered you a necessary evil. After all, without you, there would be no Thanksgiving, no Christmannakkanzaa, no New Year, right? But about three years ago, I decided that was a ridiculous idea. After all, people in, say, San Diego...
