Bleg

I'm looking for suggestions for a place to take my wife for the weekend. Has to be w/in ~ 2 hrs driving.

Take a drive down to St. Michaels or Rock Hall, MD. Great little towns with cool stuff in a few minutes drive of them.

How about one of the DE beaches? I don't think they're that crowded this time of year, so you might be able to get a room pretty cheap.

Nemours Mansion opened up again, I went during the summer and it was pretty cool if you like palatial estates, elaborate gardens, or old cars.

What do you think of wine tastings? I have a friend who lives and works at Twinbrook winery.

If wine isn't your thing - there is the dogfishead brewery tour in Milton (limited to 25 people, so I'd call ahead).

There is a historic Lancaster walking tour.

If she likes trains, I do believe there is an autumn express...departing Saturday at 12:30 and 2pm - an hour and a half, but quaint.

Or go all out ($$$) and stay at the Inn at Monchanin and have brunch Sunday at Krazy Kats.

Hope I'm not too late. Evermay on the Delaware. An inn located in Bucks County. Quiet site, great food, and stuff to do around.

Thanks everyone. Great suggestions all around. I'm thinking of a trip in the spring. This will likely be a Christmas present so I have some time to decide.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

That state of the DE blogosphere

I've been holding off on commenting on the imbroiglio over a posting at DelawareLiberal for Veteran's Day for several reasons. First and foremost is the situation at home (more on that later) but also because I wanted to get some distance from it to be sure I was seeing things clearly. I've been reading DV's stuff since before he joined Jason on his site and I've noticed a change in tone which seems to have accelerated of late. I enjoyed going to the old site because it was one the few places I could engage someone with different ideas than mine without things crashing headlong into Godwin's law within 3 posts. In short, DV acted in good faith and was rather deferential to his visitors which I greatly appreciated. Since pulling the old blog and posting on DelwareLiberal, I've noticed that ground has eroded rather quickly. I've never agreed with anything Jason posted but found him a book end to DelaThought's knee jerk partisan right wingery. Fi...

This is very strange...

I'm an average guy with an average life. I have a few more kids than most but for the most part I'm just an anonymous lumpenprole toiling away in obscurity both professionally and on this blog. To say my life follows a certain routine is like saying " The Hindenburg caught fire." That is to say, technically accurate but wildly understates the truth. In any event, I just received a call from The Wife. To wit: "Did you order something?" "No, why?" "There's something here for you." "Uh, box, bag, envelope, singing telegram?" "It's a box" "Who's is from?" "It's from [Name redacted pending confession or further investigation]" "Who?" "(repeats name)" "No idea. Never heard of him." A quick google search later I find that the sender's return address is in the wilds of northern Pennsylvania. A place I have never visited. "Open it." "W...
