FU’16 or DJT’20?
by dpankiewicz
Some days I watch the news and feel like the headlines are crazier than the Netflix Series: House of Cards. I remember that night in 2016 when I went to sleep with the feeling that I would wake up to the news that America’s Richest Bankrupt Billionaire was going to be elected as our country’s 45th President. I remember that feeling of emptiness and gut pain, knowing that our country was going down a path that was not guided with […]

Watching 2020 set one day at a time.

I wasn’t really sure the best way to send 2020 off, but looking through the Crosby walk photos I was inspired.

What we learned from this week’s zoom!
by dpankiewicz
The first Saturday of 2021 started like a lot of Saturday’s during 2020 lockdown. We had a little zoom call with the Arrigo cousins. This time around we only had representation from Charleroi, Virginia, West Virginia and my office. Ryan was out working on his swing as he’s realized he’s only a few lessons away from getting under 80 consistently. We’ve made it to 2021 and some of us have a plan to get our covid-19 vaccines, others have no […]

Old Christmas ideas.
by dpankiewicz
You may want to bust out your calculator or spreadsheet in 2020, to half or quarter your recipes from past years. Be smart, be safe, if meeting with people outside your bubble mask up and meet outside. If eating with said people, have a chef plate the meals and a masked server serve the meals. In the north set up your garage for dinner, open the door and create mini-pod tables instead of a grand table. If you are lucky […]

If Covid-19 doesn’t have you mad as hell. . . the CARES Act may?
by dpankiewicz
First off, if you have a charity that you would like to give $300 to before year end in cash and don’t plan on taking itemized deductions in 2020 it’s OK to give that donation. CARES will allow you a line item deduction on donations at $300 or less. I know my political donations in 2020 don’t count but I have a few 501.3c that can get a little something something. Not sure if you understood what was tucked into […]

Better than the CDC. . .
by dpankiewicz
It’s Christmas 2020. One year after we first heard about the Covid-19 in Wuhan, the United States is clearly struggling to keep the health care system from collapsing due to the Covid-19 crush. Why did our CDC and government fail us? Why can’t they be transparent and craft a story that unites us to celebrate smarter. The fake news, not, NY Times has been my current go to on national hospital availability. If you think the PA shutdown is fake […]

Has anybody asked why is the United States doing this pandemic like the one in 1918?
by dpankiewicz
I can’t believe that we have it done the simple things to reduce the spread. Wear a mask. Eat at home. Avoid those normal things that we used to enjoy pre-pandemic. Continue to practice social distancing. Wear a mask when working out in a gym. Congress will pass a human relief package closer to the Heroes act. Oh wait the messaging is so messed up that we Americans still can’t talk about doing the right thing. It’s to the point […]

A little Zoom Vacation theme. . .
by dpankiewicz
I really do get it! This whole thing about this great 10 month pause to this point thanks to Covid-19 is getting old. Everybody has lost their normal mo-jo of life and has had to deal with working from home, no air travel, and lockdowns. To repeat from the other day, it’s OK to be OK. I’m typing this on my old Monongahela Ford sales office countertop, mounted above 6 milk crates that I call my back office. In an […]

How can we connect and be present in this Covid World?
by dpankiewicz
Welcome to December 2020! Let’s see we are in month number ten since this started back in March. All the sports fans in the United States were getting ready for madness, first the toilet paper run, right before the NCAA could have their basketball tournament. Then there was no Opening Day for the Cubbies or Giants in April. As the safer at home plan continued outdoor soccer and the Pittsburgh Marathon were also cancelled. Thankfully as summer arrived up north […]

This really doesn’t feel like the holidays. . .
by dpankiewicz
Rule number 1 in 2020- It’s OK to not be OK. Rule number 1 in 2020- It’s OK to not be OK! Wisdom of friendsgiving 2020! Rule number 2 in 2020- Always refer back to rule number 1. My text messages were blowing up at the same rate of Covid-19 cases in the United States last night. I understand that kid’s really struggle with rule number 1 and rule number 2 since they have been taught to just be OK […]

This year we Turkey differently. . .
by dpankiewicz
In our efforts to flatten the curve this holiday season, here’s a behind the scenes look at the 2020 Thanksgiving Prep. You’ll note Reba made it into the video if you look in the backdrop. So what are you thankful for in this Covid-19 world? What did I learn today? I’m on an amazing team and I’m grateful to be constantly involved. Here’s to an evening of Frankie Drake with the Ravens vs. Stillers pushed back due to Covid-19.

Arrigo Stuffing-Thanksgiving Covid-19.
by dpankiewicz
In 2020, we must look at day to day life with an approach of gratitude. If Covid-19 has taught us anything at this point, it should be to approach every day as if it could be our last and to practice kindness daily. If you are not approaching this holiday season with gratitude for what you can do vs. what we can’t do this will definitely be difficult to mentally handle. Family, therapy, prayer, antidepressants and friends will be key […]
