Back in Action!
Hello, faithful readers.
As one anonymous poster commented, yes, I've been away from the blog for a while. Some work commitments have kept me away from my normal Internet routine.
Hopefully you've had a chance to explore some of the links to other LV blogs during my absence. Thanks for all of your great suggestions of blogs that I did not list. I've added most of them to the sidebar.
Now that I have a renewed commitment to keeping you updated not only on the events of NET and the local community, what are you most interested in reading about? Activity schedules? Local business comings and goings? Local politics? This is YOUR blog! Let us know where your interests lie.
For those of you who are not NET members, I'd encourage you to become official members. You can visit our Membership Page to find out more details. You'll get a subscription to LV Style Magazine, so you can know what's going on. You'll get access to discounts to NET events as well as local businesses. You'll get an ARTIX book to get discounts on local theater/arts productions. Plus you'll be supporting the organization that is working to give LV young professionals a voice in the community. What's not to love?!?

The Lehigh Valley Blog List
We're starting a new feature to The After Work Chronicles: a LV blog list. Just take a peek to your right. I've listed several blogs that have LV connections that I read on a regular basis. If you have any to add (or if you own one of these blogs and would prefer not to have extra readers head your way), leave a comment so we can add more in.
Whether you are a "local-yocal" or new to the LV, the many blogs written by LV residents will surely give you new ideas and new perspectives on our community.

LV Wines...and more!
Good wine doesn't just come from places like Napa & Bordeaux. It's not too late to experience a little of the LV wine culture. And, don't fret if you can't make this weekend's events. You can always experience the LV Wine Trail whenever you please.
