  • 2017 Philmont Experience

      Since Summer 2016, troop 73 has known that we would have an opportunity to go to the Philmont Ranch in New Mexico.  We had won the lottery, and had 24 spots available to our troop.  This means that we had the potential to take 20 kids and 4 adults in two crews out to…

  • Maybe all libraries do need coffee shops

    Having gone 34 years without being a coffee drinker, I personally never got why people wanted coffee shops in libraries.  But over the last year, my wife and Greenhill Farms, a Kona Coffee Grower in Hawaii, convinced me that not all coffee is bad.  I’m so convinced, that having a morning cup of coffee (black,…

  • Weekend in Disney

    After returning home from Vermont, I had to make good on a promise that I made back in June to my boys — so we packed up and heading down to Disneyland.  For Nathan and Kenny, this was their first time down at Disneyland.  In fact, for Nathan, it was his first time on an…

  • R & R

    The past couple of days, I’ve been spending a few quite days in Vermont ahead of the ReadEx Digital Institute.  I’ve had the opportunity to be able to attend and speak at this little shin-dig for a number of years, and this year is no different.  I actually like this get together a lot for…

  • 100 foods

    Not library related but fun, I guess.  My wife sent me a list because she wondered what kinds of crazy things on this list I could say I’ve eaten.  Some of the things on this list, I honestly don’t even know what they are.  But, I’ll play the game.  I’ve bolded the items of things…

  • How Delta screwed me…again, and again, and again…..

    I just got back home from without a doubt the most horrendous travel experience I’ve ever had dealing with an airline.  And to be honest, it wasn’t until this weekend that I never really realized how little help travelers have when something goes wrong.  For me, my story started back in January of this year. …

  • Airline karma

    I’d mentioned sometime back (https://blog.reeset.net/archives/489) that I was planning on being one of the crazy Beaver fans that will be making the trip to Penn State this year to hopefully watch out team spank the Nitty Lions silly.  At the time, I didn’t have football tickets, but was smart enough to make airline reservations and…

  • ALA Notes — Running in Anaheim

    Since ALA seems to shutdown around noon so folks can go and get some lunch, I decided to try my hand at getting a little run in before heading back.  I’ve tried running in California before (mostly San Francisco), and the number of people and cars always foil me.  I’m use to my afternoon runs…

  • Geneseo Resource Sharing project

    For the first time, in a really long time, I won’t be home on Mother’s Day.  A trip to Boston last week was extended to include some time in NY to talk to friends and the Geneseo library about the resource sharing project that they are working on.   I was really impressed by the work…

  • Bring on the Penn State Kitty cats

    So, its official (as of last week I believe), but Oregon State University’s football team will be traveling to Happy Valley to play the Lions — and I’ll be there.  My wife has given me the ok so I’ve got the plane tickets, a hotel room in altoona, pa and a rental car.  Now all…
