Poor Aunt Lydia. Last week you were so swamped, you forgot to pick her up at the airport.

By the time you got there, she had OD’d on soft pretzels and Cinnabon.

Too bad you didn’t know about Run Around Mike. A cross between an errand boy and personal assistant, he’ll help you out when you’re pressed for time or just in need of a helping hand.

Coming to the rescue of those in the Center City area, Run Around Mike does all sorts of things that you wish you could ask a neighbor for help with. He’ll take the dog for a walk, feed your cats while you’re away, and — yes — make airport runs.

With his easygoing and approachable manner, you’ll be treating him like family in no time.

Let’s just hope it’s better than you treat your own. 

Run Around Mike (215-574-9999 or runaroundmike@aol.com).
