This is our second edition of Good, Bad, Ugly, Meh or G-BUM which I see as a snapshot of what is happening on Planet Phungo.
Ugly
The Ugly always seems more interesting then the good - we will start there this week:
- 2013 Philly Bike Race Cancelled - every year in early June there is a
major bike race that runs through town including a legendar climb up
the "Manayunk Wall". At this time this 2013 race
has been cancelled. Phungo 2 Cents sez the race is a lot bigger
event then biking - and biking the sport is bigger then any single
individual. I am sure there is a lot of reasons for corporations pulling
sponsorships from the race, but to base it off of the
fate of a single individual is short-sighted. The Philly Bike Race
existed long before most of us heard of Lance Armstrong and will be here
long after him. -5
- In Semi-related news - more PEDs in MLB - just in time for opening day. hooray. -1.

-Downton Abbey/Girls combo on Sunday night - Yes I am a man and I wind down my wild weekends by watching ChicksterTV +1
-Phillies Welcome back Chad Durbin - ok he is really a blah middle
reliever, but anybody from the 2008 World Championship squad is a plus
for team Phungo, +1

Bad
-Flyers 2-4 start -1
-FICA tax - of course my father retired last year, so I figure I am just throwing $$ in his pocket. Push.
Meh
-"Life of Pi" ran a little long for me. I agree it is visually mind
blowing and the story is good - but I stop short of great. push.
-@KeithOlbernann rips 2013 Topps cards on Twitter - Gets SSPs
and Cool Inserts He is Topps1%. My 3 Packs will likely include blah inserts
and no Phillies -1
