Yes, it's already the second week of the new year but I was busy the first week and 2011 was such a busy year that it was hard to distill the important things from the year. The biggest change is after 16 months being out of work, I returned to work for a small startup (literally a 6-person office when I joined) in Wilmington. My previous job wasn' ( Read more... )

This evening, I went to the DuPont Environmental Education Center in Wilmington to find the DEEC: Ranger Rick's Riverside Resting Spot geocache. (Pictures) I love coming to this preserve because it's the nicest one close to home. There is an elevated walkway leading to a four-storey nature center building with scenery of marshland and an old ( Read more... )

Cloudy, 70-75°F. I only found out about May in Maryland, a Where's George meet in the Baltimore area, yesterday but fortunately, it took only five minutes to plan everything, including getting geocache info for the area. It was a 3-part meet: breakfast in Hunt Valley, ballgame in Baltimore, and dinner in Owings Mills. My plan was to go to the first ( Read more... )

Now, the early bird would've left already and so the late bird got the worm. So I had a bit of business to take care of this morning. By the time I was done, it ( Read more... )

Sunny, 32-34°F. About 3 inches of snow fell overnight. I wasn't in a particular hurry today so I only went out to shovel snow after having breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen a bit. So by the time I start working on the snow, half of it had melted.

I was going to South Jersey to meet up with Christine and Rich at Long John Silver's (a.k.a. ( Read more... )

Apparently, this TD Bank promotion has been running since January 17 but I only noticed the ad today in the Sunday newspaper. The banner ad has probably been up on the TD Bank website for a while, which goes to show how I tend to tune out online ads these days. Basically, you get $10 back in gift cards for every $100 in signature-based purchases at ( Read more... )
