Although winter may seem to many (skiers and other winter sports enthusiasts excepted) to be a time when things are in remission and little is happening, there are some pretty exciting things going on here at the More Satisfying family of web sites. Yes, I know we've been promising video forever. We're as frustrated by the delay as anyone else but we're determined to produce only quality products that truly meet your needs.
As we continue to work on that, we've started a new season of live workshops. We've pared back the quantity of workshops and gotten rid of all the 'free' ones (which were paid for by county tax dollars) and are now focused only on doing more personalized, more in-depth workshops. Although both Kent and New Castle counties charge fees for these, the fees are nominal. They also ensure that we have much smaller, more focused groups. That allows us to really make sure that each person gets the absolute greatest benefit from their investment of time.

Photo Essay - Bombay Hook in Winter
Bombay Hook national wildlife refuge, in central Delaware, like many wildlife refuges in the northern parts of the US, is generally thought to be a pretty barren place in winter. Any time I have to go past that area, I usually make it a point to run through Bombay Hook just to see what's there. I've been there in every season. Although there is certainly a greater diversity and abundance of wildlife in Springtime, I've been fortunate to get some beautiful photos of wonderful plants and animals almost every time I've visited.
Red-winged blackbirds have got to be about the prettiest of the common birds around this area.

United States
Zip codes in the United States help to route mail and packages. Almost everyone uses a five digit, numeric zip code. A few -- mostly nerdy people like me -- use the longer "Zip +4" code. Both of those are just abbreviated versions of the newer 12 digit delivery point bar code (DPBC) system.
