Along with lots of other great people (to include you yourself, I hope), I’m working on an effort to buy a squat cage and bench for Fire Station One in Lancaster city. Please check it out and chip in $10, or whatever you can!
Lancaster Breakfast Tweetup No. 12 – The Wiebners
We had a great group and a fun time at this morning’s Lancaster breakfast tweetup. Huge thanks go to our hosts, Joel and Rita Wiebner, who opened up their North Queen Street studio to all twenty-seven of us and organized the food and beverages. In attendance:

Where I’ve been
I’m currently on mandatory hiatus from Twitter during work hours (I expect to return, in the form of a more official Lancaster Chamber presence in the near future). Most of my blog posts had begun as conversations there, so inspiration has been a bit drier lately.
Also, Amanda and I bought a house (on East Frederick Street) and are in the process of renovating the bathroom in preparation to move on June 20th. That has us pretty busy in the evenings and on weekends.
And then of course there’s the CHL, CWL, and LYP. More on all of those later.
I’ve just updated the Lancaster Twitterati list on this blog. It seems to be the most valuable and most popular content I am able to provide, so I made it a higher priority to update that list than to write a new entry. I added twenty new tweeps, updated information on six, and removed seven. If you go inactive for two months or more, you’re off the list until you become active again. That’s the best way I know to manage the length of the list, which now stands at 117.
If you’re a Lancaster County resident on Twitter and would like to be added, just e-mail or DM me (contact information is to your right) with your real name, location within Lancaster County, and any thoughts you have on a brief bio.
