Sunny day and around 60°F so I decided to hit some local geocaches before returning to the endless work of packing and dejunking. The first one was Bridges of Rockland County in Sloatsburg. It's a scenic area with an old wooden bridge alongside the road bridge. There weren't many places at that street corner to hide a regular-sized cache but I must have been seriously off my game there ...
It was a rainy Saturday so I stayed in and caught up on all the things I couldn't do while packing. I did two months' worth of accounting and got reasonably up to date with photo uploads. I also did a few more address changes online. In the evening, I went to the diner meet at Hot Plate. It was only 2 miles from home so I probably didn't have to leave home as early as I did. Met up with ...
... do soon to support the retweets API and home timeline. Apparently, I didn't stop having computer programming work to do after leaving the job. Funny that. Also, I joined the Google Wave preview a week ago (mortonfox@googlewave.com) and only just started really using it today. If you need an invite, pass me an email address to send it to. Also, if you're already on Google Wave, let me know too. I...

... a minute doing a shoutout as part of a national PSA being produced. Our cast today as myself as Tenderheart Bear, rukario71 as Sonic the Hedgehog, jbadger as (name of new wolf?), and mortonfox as Chestnut Husky. While our other three characters remained in the entertainment area along with MetLife Snoopy, and Toys R Us' Geoffrey, myself again as a Care Bear took on the 3-mile walk,...
...'s no toll, but it looks like I got hit $1.66. Certainly there's no fare for cars that don't have E-ZPass. What gives? That seems like a blatant penalty for those who do have the transponder. mortonfox , you used to go through there a lot; what are your thoughts? I do recall the guy who had trained me on a courier run several years ago; when we went past that point, he would hide his ...
On Sunday, our Hi-4 group went to Jones Beach on Long Island to do a mascot gig at the 2009 Walk Now for Autism Long Island . There are some troublesome issues with Autism Speaks' stance on vaccinations but it's my last year doing this gig, so I won't worry too much about it. In costume this time were jbadger , rukario71 , rapidtrabbit , and I. I thought this was a good ...
After a motel breakfast, the first thing on the agenda was to go with the buyer's agent to the house for a final walk-through. There, we just checked the list of things the seller needed to fix before the settlement. Nothing much to see, actually. Everything pretty much worked. There was electricity, gas, hot and cold water, and a full tank of heating oil. (The heating oil company had posted ...
Called the electric/gas utility this morning to confirm that I'll have service when I get there. Then I went to the bank to get the cashier's check. I should've stopped there and gone on my way. Instead, I then tried to use my ATM card and it was rejected by the ATM. Oh boy. Went back into the bank to inquire and found out that the card number was closed. They tried to make a new card for me but ...
Mascot gig today. Hi-4 was on the grounds of the Secaucus Public Library this afternoon to entertain visitors to the library mini-fair and book sale. Our group this time was Damian K, mister_f , sunookitsune , antetfa , and I. I got there a little early but had to wait anyway because the changing area, which was a room adjoining the reference section, was being used for ...
