Sarchix Finds

Do you like Hockey?  I love it!  I torture my kids when I watch the games.  They would rather be watching their cartoons when the game comes on.  I’m not one of those die hard fans that have to watch every game, regardless of the team playing, but I do catch most of the Philadelphia Flyers games.

I also love to write so one day I got the inspiration to write a Hockey themed romance novel. That was back during the 2003-04 season and it sat on my computer all that while.

About a year ago, I decided to take the plunge and publish it for the world to see.  What resulted, was Fire and Ice.

Fire and Ice is a Hockey/Romance novel.  It is the story of a professional hockey team, the Philadelphia Fire, who finished the previous season last in the league.

The Fire need a new player who can score goals and win games  but they don’t have the money for another big name on the team.  Instead, they find Bobbie, a brilliant hockey player from Boston.  The only catch is, Bobbie’s a woman.

Fire and Ice is only available for sale from the publisher’s web site at the moment and the first chapter is posted on there for a sneak peek into the life of Bobbie when she joins the Philadelphia Fire.

Geocaching GPS

If you want a nice outdoor thing to do with friends or kids, you might want to try this.  Geocaches are treasures hidden somewhere in a public place, usually containing a log to record your visit, something of interest about the place, and maybe some little trade items – hotwheels, tiny plastic frogs, “challenge” or “memorial” coins, refrigerator magnets, etc.  Once you find the cache, you enter your “handle” and date on the log, note the contents, maybe exchange a hotwheels for a coin, and rehide the cache in exactly the same place.

All this is orchestrated through the web site Geocaching.com.  When folks make a cache and hide it, they use a GPS to get the geographic coordinates, and then register the cache with its name,coordinates, and a little something about it to make it interesting at geocaching.com.  There are many caches within ten miles of your home, and you can always add more.
