I'm really excited about the new MLS Philly soccer team for 2010. There's been a fan club (The Sons of Ben) for over a year now that goes up to NY Red Bulls games just to boo them, which is pretty hardcore. You average soccer hoodlum combined with you average Philadelphia sports fan... the...

I remember we had a real good one ages ago (probably in connection with Jeff's great cd, which seems to be missing from my rack at the moment along with my Pine Baron's album). Who on here fiddles with music? Or fiddles with a fiddle? What instruments can you play, what type of music do...

... aka, the "Making RednekF350 feel wanted" thread... :) What steps do I need to take to own a firearm in New Jersey before I actually go out and buy a gun? My ulterior motive is not the Flyers recent nosedive, but to ultimately be able to take my my Boy Scouts to a firing range and have...

I was looking for a club to join, but couldn't find one to meet my needs. Therefore, at the suggestion of someone on here and others, I started my own. The club, temporarily called the Outdoors Club because we haven't thought up a creative name, will be centered around hiking, camping...

... 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?

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

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...

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.

in Cherry Hill. As my roommate said, "You have to expect fires when you have a red pepper as your logo". They drove a crane through a wall to help fight the fire.

In today's Courier Post, my grandmother saved it for me. Haven't had a chance to flip through it yet, but figured I'd mention it. They had a history of South Jersey Towns one a while back with one page on each town, that one was very interesting.

This is a bit of old news (only 10 months late), but I missed it and couldn't find it when I searched the site, so I figured I'd share. Read the entire press release here

Went out today with a buddy to check out some places, including a visit to Chatsworth (Marilyn took some of my band's cds to sell), the new Batsto visitors center, the rest of Batsto, Pleasant Mills Church and the broken bridge, and Apple Pie Hill. Nothing that people here haven't been to...

I don't know if anyone has been there of late, but there seemed to be an absurd number of knocked over and broken tombstones at Pleasant Mills Cementary today. I'll readily admit that I can be loud and obnoxious, and that I have done some stupid things in my life, but who desecrates graveyards...

My friends bailed on me today for more in depth exploring, but I had fun on my own heading down to Sally Starr's old place. This is NOT the pizza place, but the remains of a dancehall that she had in the 1960s, known previously as Ole's Ranch. I wrote to Sally Starr about the place a few years...

It dawned on me recently that I've rarely seen any children's books about the Pines. The can only think I've three: "A Devil in the Pines" by Jacqueline Seewald "Blackbeard the pirate and other stories of the Pine Barrens" by Larona Homer "The Shore Ghosts and Other Stories of New Jersey"...

After Friday, I have no work until January 2, and no school until the 15th. I have been ultra-busy for months and months now... Therefore, to do list: Red Bank Battlefield Smithville (Burlington County one) Old Salem Road - thanks Jerseyman Batsto - NEW visitors center, have not seen...

Anyone been to Popcorn Park Zoo out in Ocean County? It's home to dozens of rescued animals from lions down to turtles. I went last week, it was amazing. Lions and tigers and cougers and a bobcat and bears and sheep and pigs and deer and a moose (or so I was told, I didn't see it) and ducks...

It's no "Leeds Devil Blues" (which I finally picked up last month at Chatsworth, great, great stuff!), but my band has been working hard for the last two years and finally finished our new album. It's called "Adventures in the Jersey Woods" and, not suprisingly, it's got a New Jersey theme...

I hadn't been out in a while (11 hour working days of late, no breaks), so my friend and I headed down to Fort Mott and then Greenwich to see the tea burning monument. It was my first time to see either of those places. First off, Fort Mott is quite a state park! I didn't get to go on the...
