I started out thinking of America as highways and state lines. As I got to know it better I began to think of it as rivers. America is a great story, and there is a river on every page of it.----- Charles Kuralt



It's roughly 100 degrees in Philadelphia, and this may not be the ideal, but I made plans to be on the Delaware River this evening. The Spirit of Philadelphia sails at 7:00 for a three-hour cruise. Not on Gerard's scale, of course, but it sounds like fun. The cruise is a joint project of several Big East schools, with Villanova University having the largest contingent on board.
