a fan by proxy
This evening I went over to my friend Joy’s house for a hotdog roast that I just found out about last evening when she posted an open invitation on Facebook:

Soon after I arrived with my chips, salsa, and apples, Joy’s husband Tom asked, “So I hear you’re a Phillies fan now?” I smiled. Gossip sure gets around!
“Well, at least I’m a fan of a fan,” I clarified. “I’ve only ever watched one game, so I guess at this point I’m mostly just a fan by proxy.”
I’m well aware that the Phillies did not win the World Series, which means this isn’t exactly the most ideal time to be posting this picture, but this photo from last week is just too much fun not to share with you.
