Some random pictures from the past two weeks. The Lancaster Stormers fan fest… Two weekends ago, the Lancaster Stormers held their annual Fan Fest and exhibition game, playing against the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars. York also held their fan fest the same day, and I preferred to go across the Susquehanna for Lancaster’s fan fest thanContinue reading “Scenes of Spring”

More Things I Do Not Need
Facebook continues to astound in the ad department. I wrote a few weeks ago about ugly, unlicensed baseball shirts, and with Spring Training about to begin, Facebook has even more to show me. Honestly, I don’t hate this. A Chicago Cubs bowling shirt! Would I wear it, though? Oh, absolutely not. It looks like itContinue reading “More Things I Do Not Need”
A Bad Match
Oh, Indeed. You amuse me. You amuse me! I am exploring the job market for reasons outlined earlier, and yesterday evening I received a customized job alert for a local job. Very local. Like, a mile and a half from where I live. I could walk there. But. It’s not Bethlehem United Methodist Church anyContinue reading “A Bad Match”
The Cheeses of Craggy Isle
The Church of England is soliciting the public’s input for the next Archbishop of Canterbury. There’s only one candidate, really. Yes, Father Ted Crilly is a Roman Catholic priest, but if called upon, I am sure he would embrace the Church of England faster than Father Jack can move when he sights an unattended bottleContinue reading “The Cheeses of Craggy Isle”
Getting Better
I’m getting better at this backgammon thing. I still lose half the time, but I’m getting the hang of it. I do think xgammon cheats, because it comes up with just the right role to do damage far too often to be chance, but broadly speaking, I’m holding my own. I cannot access Facebook onContinue reading “Getting Better”

A Warm January Day
Today was the first day with temperatures above freezing in about a week and a half. I drove over to the state park overlooking the Susquehanna to get some photos of the river, the bridges, and the hills beyond Columbia before the snow started to seriously melt. It was a nice drive. The road throughContinue reading “A Warm January Day”
Random Screenshots from My Travels
I take screenshots of things I see while surfing the web. On my phone, on my desktop. Doesn’t matter. “Oh, that’s interesting/amusing/weird/useful.” I take a screenshot, because I might want to come back to it later. Of course, then I never do. And the result is a folder full of screenshots on my hard drive,Continue reading “Random Screenshots from My Travels”
Winter’s Arrival
I didn’t get the two inches of snow yesterday that was possible, but what I got isn’t nothing. It’s very cold, blustery too, and the dry snow blows everywhere on the howling winds. And 8 to 12 inches are in the forecast for Monday-Tuesday. Spring is only eleven weeks away. Sigh
Winter Solstice
It’s a cold one today! The winter solstice. “Halfway out of the dark.” It snowed furiously all day yesterday, and this morning everything was icy and frozen. I like seeing the snow on the hills over Red Lion and Windsor way, shining white in the sun. I really should have gone Thursday night to seeContinue reading “Winter Solstice”
