I took this shot of the tallest tree in the Brandywine's lobby, looking down on it from the 3rd floor of the museum. The star on the tree's 'double' top is so beautiful and delicate, yet seems to radiate hope.There are many reasons for me to love the Phillies. Pitcher Jamie Moyer is a relatively recent one. In this morning's Daily News, Sam Donnellon has a remarkable story about this remarkable man and his remarkable wife and family. Four days after Moyer signed a new contract with the Phillies, he and his wife Karen took their seven children to Guatemala to celebrate Christmas at Hannah's Hope. That's the orphanage where Yenifer, their 2-year-old daughter, and only adopted child, spent the first part of her life. The Moyers also visited Guatemala City's basurero, a 40-acre dump where the city's poorest scavenge and where corpses are dumped daily. Again, it's a remarkable story.
