I had the honor of featuring my dear friend, Kitty Jones in Pocono
Life today. Every week, the Pocono Record picks someone, and features them in a section called "Pocono People". (Last week featured one of the many constables that have tried to arrest Carole over the last few months, but let’s not open that can of worms, ok?)
When the Tribe called Brooks was stranded in Stroudsburg (as usual, thanks to the vehicle we lovingly refer to as "THE DEATHMOBILE"), Kitty was there for us, with her tour van, to get us home safe & sound.
She puts on a phenomenal one-woman show called "Kit’s Kaboodle", bringing in audience members to play various parts, and she does this all across the PA, N.J and N.Y area. (Click Here for her Show Dates)… it’s really incredible, you’ve gotta catch one of her shows.
The article is here, and her biography (bet you didn’t know she was in "As The World Turns") is here.
I met Kitty when she hired us to redesign www.kitskaboodle.com at the Pocono Record, btw….

I’m currently working out the kinks with all of the new CGI settings, but for all intents & purposes, EricBrooks.Com® is back in business.
Back to school
The Adorable BrooksKidz are getting ready for the grueling task of getting up at 5am for the bus again…
Eastern Poconos Community News is running a special print (and online) edition about how the “Zero Tolerance” laws are affecting students across the country.
So what do *YOU* like/dislike about going back to school?

Hey CyberPals!
Expect intermittent service here, as I make the move to my new virtual home on Server-Space…
$8.00 per month, full CGI support (since people have so much trouble with Greymatter) and they won’t block your friend’s email off the server unlike other webhosts (*COUGH*).
Gotta re-write Perl locations, massive uploads… you know, all that fun stuff.
Maybe even finish the Server-Space site while I’m at it… y’know?
Anyone interested in a new webhost, let me know, or email joew@server-space.com

What to do, what to do….
Sorry, my tradition of launching a new website/webproject on my birthday has been cancelled this year… well, for obvious reasons.
Yeah… I turn 36 today too.
whoop-dee-do.
New Slogan on this site: “Life: I can’t take another waking second of it.”

Looking for some riveting reading this weekend? Check out The Legacy of Tocks Island Dam. This story has it all: Natural disasters, death & destruction, our Government going to extremes: taking homes and land by any means necessary, land owners commiting suicide as their land is taken away, hippie protests, and the origin of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
It also features photos that never made it to print, courtesy of The Monroe County Historical Society and the U.S. Department of the Interior.
It was a three day series, that ran in the Pocono Record last week, and now it’s online. I’ve gotta admit that I really didn’t get a chance to read this until I put it together online this weekend… and it is MIND-BLOWING! Full of history that us New Yorkers moving in never knew. Go check it out, I’ll wait.
