More Local Inspiration

Quick shout to Eric Smith, who is some­thing of a blog­gy wun­derkind here in Philadel­phia. We’ve nev­er met prop­er­ly, but he and I have slow­ly built what I hope is a mutu­al admi­ra­tion soci­ety as we wend our way through the dense thick­et that’s known today as con­tent cre­ation and curation.

If you’re not hip to what he’s up to, do your­self a favor and catch up. It’s worth not­ing that Geekadel­phia is one of my favorite local reads.

Our Trip to Snipes Farm

Snipes Farm Trip, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by Black­mail Is My Life.

For the past three years, our cir­cle of friends has made pil­grim­ages to Bucks Coun­ty for our annu­al apple and pump­kin pick­ing extrav­a­gan­za. This year we vis­it­ed the ven­er­a­ble Snipes Farm in Mor­risville, Pa, where we picked fruit and enjoyed cider donuts on a beau­ti­ful fall afternoon.

It was fun, but we’re always on the look­out for great spots to pick-your-own fall fruit. If you have a favorite, let me know in the com­ments! It may be a per­son­al bias, but I think it’s time to find out what Berks Coun­ty has to offer!

CATHY & MIKEY GOT MARRIED

Kiss the bride!, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by Black­mail Is My Life.

In case you were won­der­ing what I was up to this past week­end, it was spent putting in some full-time friend­ship and attend­ing Mikey and Cathy’s love­ly wed­ding at Tyler Arboreteum.

It was a great time: we watched Liv­er­pool pull off the improb­a­ble with a come from behind win over Mid­dles­bor­ough in stop­page time; the cer­e­mo­ny was gor­geous and the weath­er was per­fect; and we topped it all off with a night of dancing.
