Fun Things to do on a Date in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
A friend of mine asked for some ideas on where to take his girlfriend out for a date in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I sent the question to my co-workers and this is what they came up with below. Let me know if you have any other ideas.
- Harrisuburg Senator’s Games: http://www.
senatorsbaseball.com/ - Susquehanna Art Museum : http://www.sqart.org/ From there you could walk a few blocks for a nice dinner.
- Color me mine if they’re an artistic person, you can make your own pieces of pottery and come back later to see how they turned out:http://www.harrisburg.
colormemine.com/ - Really good restaurants that I would recommend in the area: Skewers on Second Street: http://www.
skewersgrill.net/ (right by Ceoltas) has excellent middle eastern food; Aangan: http://www.aanganindiancuisine.com/ (Indian cuisine) on Progress, Garrison’s tavern (europena/american) on Forrester), Okini that serves Pan-Ameican food:http://www. dineoutharrisburg.com/okini/ – anything from Thai to Sushi. - Take her horseback riding that’s always super fun.
- · Go on a hike up to Hawk Rock and already have a picnic set up there for the two of you to enjoy the view, it’s really nice.
- · Café Fresco. It is small, intimate and has great food and service. On Friday nights they have Jazz bands. It is close to everything and best of all NON-smoking:http://harrisburg.

- Dinner at Bayou ar Sammys, followed by a stroll to city island to catch a Senators game or show off your skills in the bating cages.

- Indoor Rock Climbing @ Climbnasium in Mechanicsburg (http://www.climbnasium.net)
- Find a body of water (Little Buffalo State Park, Riverfront park, Susquehanna in general ) and during the daytime you could do the whole kayaking and fishing thing and pack a picnic for a twilight show…share a bottle of wine that’s always fun…
- Lol… One co-worker said the best thing to do in Harrisburg is to take them to Philly!
Learn to Speed Read
Over the last several months while reading through emails or articles with my wife, I noticed that either I was a really slow reader or she was a really fast reader…
This makes sense with her being an “English” type and me being a “numbers” kind of guy. Well anyway, I know this is an area that I can improve in and found this interesting article on how to get started with teaching yourself to speed read.
Pretty soon I’ll be the one twiddling my thumbs while waiting to flip the page or scroll down the screen
Do It Now! Stop Procrastinating and Getting Things Done…
I recently listened to an audio book titled:
“DOING IT NOW: How To Cure Procrastination And Achieve Your Goals In Twelve Easy Steps”
I thought it was a good read although some of the skits within it were kind of cheezy (but funny).
It talks about several ways to cure laziness and procrastination, as well as ways to set goals, priorities and improve time management.
Some of the things that I put into practice from this book were:
- If you don’t feel like doing something that needs to get done at the end of the day when you’re tired, try doing it for at least 5 minutes. (A lot of times you will find energy reserves or renewed motivation once you start.)
- Clear CLUTTER from your life.
Get rid of messy desks or unnecessary clutter around your house. This creates an “Action Environment” where things are organized efficiently and everything has its own place. - Write down your goals, review them frequently and share them with significant others so you have some accountability.
- Create a 2 Do list or (Priority List) where you divide your tasks into several different “buckets”.
e.g. My different buckets are: Family/Friends, Work, Self, House and Dreams. - Try to handle documents or mail only once. (Do it, Delegate it or Ditch it)
PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006
Several of you asked me about good software for “all around” Internet/Computer security . I just bought and installed PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006 from Amazon and it seems to work really well so far. It will end up costing me $30 after a mail-in rebate.
Not bad for protection against:
- phishing
- spyware
- spam
- hackers
- viruses
Cnet.com rated the 2005 version as excellent… so far I’m liking the 2006 version.
A Fresh Start
Hello All,
Welcome to my new “Curry” blog.
Not sure how much time I will have to update this but I figured you all can visit it if you are bored. Not sure what content I will have on this blog… I foresee it being quite random. Serious stuff and funny photos etc.
Enjoy,
Jammin
