Thank you Ed and Dio.

My girl's father is a sports journalist in Peru and he is going to write a small story in their section tomorrow and she's bringing it with her for me.

If I could add a request for papers, too, I'd appreciate it.

The Ft. Myers News-Press just won't cut it for this one.

Inquirer, Daily News to print extra editions today, available this afternoon
By staff writer

Because of the overwhelming response of readers requesting today's Inquirer and Daily News additional print editions will be available this afternoon.
The company issued this statement late this morning:

In response to the Phillies World Series win last night, Philadelphia Media Holdings Chief Executive Officer Brian Tierney announced this morning that last night's over-run of almost 350,000 copies of The Inquirer and Daily News are completely sold out. And, in an unprecedented move, the printing presses are running again this morning so that an additional 350,000 copies can be printed and available by early afternoon today.

"People are buying these souvenir editions of The Inquirer and Daily News in massive quantities and we are responding by firing up our printing presses for another run this morning," said Mr. Tierney. "We have not restarted the presses like this in decades but we want to be sure that every fan who wants a copy of our newspapers can buy one."
