Scranton: The Electric City

So Friday night Keith and I were driving down to Manassas, VA and our route took us through...you guessed it! Scranton, PA. Although it was dark, dreary, and raining, I couldn't help cheering for glee as we entered Lackawanna Co. and saw signs for the Anthracite Musuem. And since we needed gas, we got off at an exit that said it led to gas. Well, either we or the sign were mistaken, as it actually led us...downtown Scranton, past a lovely mural proclaiming Scranton The Electric City. We proceeding to get a little lost, but we saw several sites featured in the credit sequence of The Office, as well as the Steamtown Mall. Alas the weather prevented picture taking, but I thought I would share my little adventure with you, all the same.

They Really Feel It

so today on my way into work I was listening to the local lite rock station and "total eclipse of the heart" came on. i thought fondly of our radio adventures from last year. Saturday disco night, where it turned out cristina knew every song and turning on the radio both in the kitchen and the living room for a full surround sound, and somewhat unsettling experience. and then i got into work and started checking my email, and i hear from the next cubicle over, my boss break into song, as he is wont to do, what else does he sing, but, sure enough. total eclipse of the heart. sigh.
