Kathy Matheson is a reporter and occasional videographer for The Associated Press in Philadelphia. She covers education, religion, spot news and everything in between.

She has a passion for all things Philly except cheesesteaks and overblown stories about Eagles fans throwing snowballs at Santa.

Occasionally she takes photos and blogs them here and at www.philadelphiaconference.org.

On Sundays, she blogs the New York Times crossword here and at www.crosswordkathy.net.
