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.

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 […]

Thanksgiving means to me: A chance to reflect on all that has happened in the last 12 months. A chance to watch football all day long. A chance to run a 5k or 10k like we did in Cincy. A chance to decide to be a person who continues to live each day focusing on being transformational and living with love instead of just being transactional. Instead of picking our turkey’s at the store this year we are going back […]

Oh Canada, it looks like the NHL is going to give you a division all within your borders in this Covid-19 world. Thanks to the #Trumpvirus part of Covid-19, there really is no way to let American teams travel into Canada safely. Our inability as American’s to make personal decisions that mitigate the spread of Covid-19 have led us to this holiday season where Turkey Day will be via Zoom instead of in person. We started off the holiday last […]

I know, I know, I know . . .a music video from the Squirrel Nut Zippers during this dark time is pretty dark, so let’s go back to when I went to see Squirrel Nut Zipper’s and realized it was before I met my concert-wife. I guess with all the news around Covid-19 forcing the United States of America to alter their Thanksgiving plans, it’s nice to look back on those moments when travel and concerts and in person gatherings […]

The irony of the second wave of COVID-19 in the United States is not lost in history. The title of this post “Epidemic Brings Big Money Loss” was one from over 100 years ago. Sometimes, studying history a little more closely can help prevent us from repeating it. I understand that this country’s major public health programs were developed to better protect the masses in times like these: Johns Hopkins, Harvard, UNC, UW(ashington), Pitt, Minnesota, Michigan, Columbia, UC Berkeley, Boston, […]

This is definitely the time of year to do things differently. If you haven’t been watching the news. . . our Covid-19 numbers in the United States are increasing exponentially. The asymptomatic carriers are everywhere. The way testing works and doesn’t work only makes sense if we contact trace, app notify, test and then have 14 day isolations plans in place. Ask the Pitt Men’s soccer team- the athletic program was getting tested throughout the course of the week after […]

Yes it’s November 15, 2020. We are on day 3 of our Thanksgiving isolation in preparation for the holiday. We have discussed safe food handling protocols, forgoing the standard family style pass the dish, instead having a gloved-masked chef dish out individual plates. I was delighted to find a completely empty press box for yesterday’s state playoff game allowing me to stick to my isolation protocols. There are some perks to avoiding on field assignments this time of year. Debriefing […]

This is the year that you need to wear more than undies for Cupid’s Undie Run. Masks are required unless you are in your quarantine pod. Riley’s River Rats is planning their 2021 fundraiser for a virtual run or plunge on New Year’s Day. We will be creating Team T-shirts so you can wear them proudly throughout the New Year. Oh yes, sign ups are happening NOW and the 2021 Undie Run will be a virtual one.

Somehow today her little leg’s didn’t want to do what they always do. After a normal Saturday walk in the park and an evening one in the neighborhood, she did not want to leave her bed this morning. We gave her a little extra time, then took some time to check between her little paws, but couldn’t find anything. Enter the day trip to the emergency vet, Lyme test negative, I guess maybe I should get my own Lyme test. […]

Hopefully after today, I can hang up my official uniforms, flags, knee high socks and electronic whistles until the spring of 2021. I wasn’t really looking forward to working any games in 2020 once the lock down began, but realized that outdoor soccer on a big field was relatively safe as long as social distancing and mask wearing were followed. I took into account a number of at-risk officials for Covid-19 that were taking the whole season off and thought […]
