Well, it's that fun time of year again - Amity Township Community Days! This year, I'm having 2 booths - the ever popular Tic-Tac-Toe booth where kids try to throw 3 balls into holes in a straight line to win Tic-Tac-Toe for a prize of their choice. Since it's free, they just keep trying until they win. No, it doesn't teach them any life long lesson, but it's just fun. My second booth is for the Great American Bake Sale. Baked goods are sold and all the proceeds to go feeding the hungry - locally. I'm going to have some "penny candy" that kids can buy so they can help to feed the hungry, too. This will teach children that every little bit helps and they can help out some other family that is less fortunate than them.  It is this Friday, Saturday and Sunday - Sept 10 (from 6 to 10), Sept... 09/08/2010

Most of my neighbors in Amity Township spent the weekend cleaning up the damage caused by an intense storm which swept through our area on Friday evening around the dinner hour...   According to the weather 'experts' no tornado was seen to touch down by local radar...   Except Amity is literally within a valley surrounded on all sides by substantial hills...in fact, I'm always kidding my children by saying we live in a former volcano or a large meteorite-caused crater... and lest I'm mistaken, radar, is only able to detect line of sight occurrences, and the damage to our area was focused mainly on low lying areas, particularly those in heavily clustered treed areas and densely wooded areas along creeks and gullies...   Hence the term 'flying under the radar' typically applies to this o... 06/29/2009

Before you read too much into that title, let me assure you I am not a workaholic...well at least, NOT EXACTLY...   Yesterday was a snow day, not so much that we got a large accumulation of the white stuff (we only got about 6 inches total), but the roads were treacherous, the temperature was single digits real feel, and the winds were blustery and gusting...all in all, a good day, if any, to call it quits when it comes to making it in to work...   Now the good news about staying home in this age of technology and easily available information is that through e-mail, cell phone, broadband internet access, etc., you can literally get a lot accomplished from your favorite seat at home...   Which I attempted to do yesterday...   However, at about 3 PM, I began to feel like I needed to get s... 03/03/2009
