This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 12-7

I'm enjoying the wild weather up in Boulder, Colorado, at the moment. It was in the teens when I arrived here, and it was in the fifties today as I was walking around in my Phillies World Champions T-shirt (like anyone here cared).

But I digress (must be the altitude). There is much to do in Philadelphia. The usual holiday parties, yes, but there is also a lot about dealing with a tough economy, brainstorming ways to handle the idea economy, and working to improve the regional economy.
