Eno River State Park – Eno Trace Trail

I am fortunate to live about 4 miles from Eno River State Park which is a 3900 acre state park in Orange and Durham Counties. There are almost 25 miles of trails in the park, many of which meander along the river. The trails are bisected by Pleasant Green Road into Eastern and Western Trails.

In early September, I took Hailey on a hike on the Eno Trace Trail in the park’s Western Trails and several hikes have been made with Hailey over this Christmas vacation on the Eastern Trails. A Flickr Slideshow follows from the September hike.

Paying It Forward

A good friend uses the term “Bank Error In Your Favor” when he comes across some unexpected beneficial financial transaction. The term derives from the Community Chest card from the classic Monopoly Board Game. A subclass of the general Bank Error In Your Favor condition is the “Too Much Change” ethical dilemma whereby a cashier gives you back too much change during a transaction. The theme of this post is to describe a recent personal encounter with Too Much Change back in the fall. 

I Prefer the Word Mature

The scene was the First Floor Alcove at work and the occasion was our daily Scrum Meeting when I casually commented that I was having trouble getting a RETAIN userid provisioned correctly. RETAIN is just one of the many systems at work that have their own userid registry – just yet another account that you need to keep track of and which needs password maintenance performed every 90 or so days.
