Index of Subjects This is not local but is a good story. Visiting my mother in Delaware, I strolled the grounds where she lives with my binoculars. That night, top-notch steak dinner and Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra concert with even-more-top-notch Sir Simon Rattle conducting. As the Brahms symphony began, I felt a tickle on my face, put my hand up, and it came down with a wood tick on it! I showed my companion and flung it to the floor. We lost a few more bars of Brahms stomping him. It is probably the only tick ever to enter Kimmel Hall. Let his fate serve as a lesson.
