We at TSD are celebrating the end of 2011 with the year’s best posts. It’s been a year filled with great stories and strong opinions, always reflecting the best of the First State. ORIGINAL PUBLISHING DATE: May 15, 2011 – I’m a cheap date. The way to my heart is most certainly with food (well, [...]
There is a fabulous online tool, mint.com, that allows you to track the money spent in the all categories of your life. For example, it breaks your expenditures into healthcare, fuel and auto, shopping, groceries, utilities, restaurants and so on. After several months of using this tool, and having an increased awareness about the amount [...]
Whenever I would see people running on the side of the road, as I drove by with my McDonalds chicken nuggets in hand, I would think “I could do that.” However, each time I started up running, I would find something that discouraged me from keeping up with it. Whether it be that everyone seemed [...]
As many of you know, MS Bike to the Bay Presented by NRG Energy was this past weekend, September 24th and 25th. While I typically write from a personal perspective in my columns, I work for the Delaware MS Society and wanted to give a quick Bike to the Bay wrap-up for Town Square Delaware! [...]

In Congress, he was a senior member on the U.S. House Education and Labor Committee, and a key contributor to improvements of the No Child Left Behind legislation (among other key reforms). As [...]
If you’re like me, you do not function until you’ve had your morning cup of coffee, or 2. This is just one of the many reasons Eeffoc café in Trolley Square speaks to me. The first thing you might notice about this coffee shop on the corner of Delaware Ave and Clayton St. is a variety [...]
It’s that time of year. Time for different parts of our state to light up weekly with festival after festival – filled with tons of “fair food”, over priced rides, and entertainment for people of all ages. Having been involved in politics for several years, I guess you could say I’ve become somewhat of a [...]
I SWORE I would never say it: but the world has changed so much since I was a kid. Sure, I grew up in a not-so-distant time when you were no one unless you had a sassy AOL instant messenger screen name that included your nickname and birthday. But I never imagined the day that [...]
I am not a witch. That might be the only thing Christine O’Donnell and I have in common. But, I have always been drawn to things like horoscopes, palm readings, and psychics. It probably stems back to grade school, when I got my palms read on the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. And, more recently, watching [...]
