... at least this winter. And it looks like tonights might not be anything either. I hate snow, but can we have one real storm this winter?

The old church is still there in Marlton, the building was bought whole and made into a new store. I can't recall what it is though. I work at Kresson School, so I drive past it almost every day... They knocked down the old house next it to it though last year, maybe the year before. I had...

Yep, Boy Scouts of America offers the "50 Miler" Award. You can earn that by hiking fifty miles, canoing fifty miles, or a mix of the two, plus doing a service project of some sort along the way (usually, picking up trash). Sadly, my only attempt as a Scout knocked me out at 46 miles with...

Spring is officially around the corner. And I'm excited for the season.

When were you in? I was a scout 1993-2000, when I got my Eagle.

If that. It turned to ice so fast. I HATE ice. Except for purposes of ice skating and hockey.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, I'm going to start looking into these... Dave, I'd love to start my own club, and I know enough people, but many of my friends are flakes. We did have a really nice canoe trip at the end of the summer (eight people went). I'm pushing for a camping...

Yep, Weblos is the right spelling =) That might do it mile wise (you'd know better than I), and I think I'd want to do it! I need to learn to kayak first, as I've only even done canoes. It's actually on my to-do list for this spring, rent a kayak, go to Lake Oswego, paddle around and...

One of my adventuring buddies was talking about how he thought we should join a nature or hiking club, some sort of organization that goes group hikes, canoeing, camping, and that sort of thing. He assumed that I'd know something about them since I've been going out in the woods for ages. I...

Hey Ron, nice to meet you. I'm an Assistant Scoutmaster in Troop 48, Berlin, NJ myself. Anway, going along with what others have said, you cannot get 50 miles out of a Pine Barrens canoe trip unless you pick a lake and circle it. When our troop goes canoeing in the Pines, we go on the...

Day late and a dollar short... but amazing. I love youtube :)

Best speak by President Bush EVER! Gettysburg Address... watch out!

Hey FlyingN. I agree, I loved the dinosaur exhibit since I was a wee one :) I was suprised at a) how it really hasn't changed and b) how much I didn't care all that much, it was still really interesting.

I love the stories :) Make me miss summer camp... or at least real summer camp, as I work at one inside a school building. Camping day is a tent inside the gym... I think they just didn't wanna get the Cubbies all sugared up, I know we were a rowdy bunch in the late '80s when I was there...

I haven't been there in ages, I always miss the turn. However, didn't they lay a layer of cement on top of the walls to keep people from walking off with stones from the wall?

It's at the Museum of Natural History and Science in Philadelphia, right by the Franklin Institute/Art Museum. When you walk in, it's to the left of the desk, in the area filled with massive dinosaur remains.

Wow, go team Lion.

Did you ever read the book Grendel? It's from his point of view. Beowulf is a jerk...

I took half a day off last Friday to take my girlfriend to the zoo for her birthday. It was perfect zoo weather, by which I mean, negative a billion degrees out with a bit of ice falling from the sky, so she changed her mind and decided to go to the Franklin Institute. Turns out that the FI...

Statue. Discovery Site. Bones. Haddrosaurus foulkii. Haddrosaurus I'm now working on the pre-trilogy, which will feature an annoying "me-sa" creature whose accent will offend both African- and Italian-Americans. With a much larger budget. And the same terrible acting. Maybe worse.
