From time to time I like to post images from the recent past. Today, I’m posting two pictures of the headquarters for the Comcast cable company in Philadelphia after a storm on May 20, 2008.

Philadelphia’s beloved Ben Franklin impersonator, Ralph Archbold, is recovering from a stroke. The 67-year-old actor has been a familiar figure around Philadelphia since 1982.
Here’s the scoop from the Philadelphia Daily News on his condition.

Get well soon Ben!
I like the flickr video player better than any other I’ve seen out there. It’s clean and simple. So here, as a test, is a short video of my friend Fausto and his brief appearance at the Latin Pride festival in Chicago’s Humboldt Park June 13, 2009.
