The Pop Poppa Nap Cast Episode 95
In an effort to make up for no episode last week, I’m posting The Pop Poppa Nap Cast Episode 95 a bit early this week. I’m feeling good lately thanks to the snow melt and a working car, plus I’m looking forward to seeing where Jack’s next year will take us!
If you’re not a fan of weird ancient Greek hell mythology, the guy pushing the boulder I mentioned was Sisyphus and the bird-gut guy was Prometheus.
I posted about Fiddlestix’s St. Paddy’s Day food here, here and here. You can see what I’m talking about above.

If you’re unfamiliar, this is what LEGO Friends sets look like. The characters are a bit more doll like and the colors more in the pastel spectrum. The woman I talked to told me they spent four years researching the kinds of LEGO sets girls would want to play with and these were the results.

The Pop Poppa Nap Cast Episode 35
The Pop Poppa Nap Cast Episode 35 features a detailed recounting of our trip to Philadelphia, a few super-cute Lucy things and a few words about helping Detroit. Sorry about the weird background noise this episode, I had the computer too close to the mic, the dryer was going and I poured some coffee around the 7:00 minute mark.
The hotel we stayed at in Philly was the Sheraton, check out their site here. My only real complaint about the place: no free wifi. On the plus side, the $7 gin and tonics were super great.
If you’re in Philly, I highly recommend checking out Reading Terminal Market.
On Saturday we ate lunch at the Famous 4th Street Delicatessen. For more info about what we ate and some pictures of the food itself, head on over to MonkeyingAroundTheKitchen.com this week.
Note that the water pouring sound around the 7:00 minute mark is just me pouring myself a cup of coffee from my mini French press and not audio of anyone peeing in the background.
Dinic’s is fantastic. Go there.
The Please Touch Museum might have driven me nuts, but I’m sure your kids will love it.
Check out Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown site about the Detroit episode. I wasn’t able to find too many aid sites, but you might be able to find some resources through that site.
