I nearly drove into a road closed sign today. The windy road that runs through the swamp was closed today because of flooding, and I was being a careless driver on my cell phone and nearly slammed right into it. In other news, we live right next to Neshaminy Creek, which is notorious for flooding;... Read More

Our first wedding anniversary fast approaches, so Jess and I booked a week of camping at Lums Pond in Bear, Delaware. It’s only an hour and a half from us and an hour or so from Lancaster so we thought it would be a great way to have fun without needing to drive forever. Then... Read More

Highlights from an Internet-free Weekend
It's a great thing to be unplugged for a while. Here are some snippets from my weekend: Friday for lunch I ate an octopus at a Korean restaurant. It popped like a packing peanut when I bit it and crumbled like rubber and the suckers stuck to the roof of my mouth. I stumbled across... Read More

If your life is stressful, please don’t read this post. I’d rather not run the risk of you getting high blood pressure vicariously. Friday my wife and I jumped in the car and headed up I-476 through Wilkes-Barre into a small town just south of the NewYork border. The gasoline was cheap and there was... Read More

We looked at our calendar and realized that this weekend was our only free weekend until July, so we jumped in the car and drove up to Jim Thorpe, PA (the town formerly known as Mauch Chunk). Once famous for railroads and coal mining, now Jim Thorpe boasts itself as “Gateway to the Poconos” and... Read More

If everything goes as planned, we’ll be driving this beast by the end of the week: 2002 Honda Accord Special Edition (and our resident “wrench”, Jessica’s dad, gave us the thumbs up!)

An Overpriced Albany Hamburger
First, happy anniversary to mom and dad… 30 years and still loving each other they way I want to be loving Jess in 29 years. Second, never order chopped sirloin thinking it will be pieces of juicy steak. It’s a hamburger without the bun, only twice the price. Third, one of my client’s sites got... Read More

Church was cancelled today because of a whopping 14 inch snowfall here in Croydon, PA (largest snowstorm ever to hit NYC I’m told). Jess and I are used to storms like this, but it proved too much for these city slickers. We got up late, ate a hearty breakfast and watched a disappointing televangelist. After... Read More

Things are progressing quickly and smoothly as we transition from our old apartment to our new apartment, much to the contradiction of early bumps in the road. I’ve taken some pictures of the stacks of boxes in our old apartment, and I’ll post them as soon as I can compliment them with pictures of our... Read More

Our first night in AWANA at Oxford Valley Chapel was a blast. Jess and I were asked to lead singing before council time, and the minute before I got up with the guitar, I realized that I’d left my music home… Of course, Lord I Life Your Name On High is the old standby when... Read More

Booths, booths everywhere and not a drop to drink! We got adventurous today and puttered up to Bethlehem, PA for the afternoon. After a stroll through a Salvation Army and more than a few bank signs with three digit temperatures, we arrived in Bethlehem in the middle of MusikFest, a wild, ten day festival spread... Read More

Yes, yes. The dramatic pause. I’m back though. And I thought marriage was going to be the great adjustment! Not so. Last time I posted I mentioned something of a hard time we were facing. Seems as though just five days after I started work, I was out a job. Mr. Manager wouldn’t answer the... Read More

“Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis something, nothing; ‘Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me...

Lots of awesome things going on here. Pulled into port early this morning and went glass-bottom kayaking and we’re off soon to our dinner reservations at the “Carriage House” in Saint George, Bermuda. I can’t wait to get back so I can fill everyone in on all the fun we’re having. Untill then, I’ll just... Read More

Well, I could copy and paste all the pictures and everything I just wrote about the new apartment I just posted on the photoblog over here… Or you could just go see the pictures yourself. MENSA USERS: Please click the pictures on the top photostrip, thank you.
