#rileysriverrats Cupid’s Undie Pump 2022 #endnf

November 29, 2021 by dpankiewicz

Attention all River Rats or Undie Runners. Pittsburgh Cupid is planning to run on 2/19/22. Based on the omnicron variant, I’m still thinking we should plan our own small event just in case the 2022 run will go virtual. I was thinking about throwing a January Cupid’s Undie Pump at a local gym (think BodyTech, RxFit Ford City or Diamond), followed by a home party full of social distancing, vax, masks and bring your own dessert at either Les & […]

Make it local, make a connection, stay present.

January 6, 2022 by dpankiewicz

I started writing this on New Year’s Morning. I had spent my holiday with my brother and dad, spent most of our town outdoors and shared differing views on health care, politics, golf, good eating and lifestyle choices. In order to pull in some data and reflect on what us humans can do differently I set it aside for a few days. In that time I talked to two more friends who were home and tested positive for Covid, sent […]

As we end 2021 and look back on the year. . .

December 31, 2021 by dpankiewicz

On this last day in 2021, I look back at the good and bad of the year. Phoebe and I definitely miss having Crosby around for our morning belly rubs, walks in Highland Park, long car rides and laying around on the deck. We did set an action plan in place to connect with nature, move more and inspire change and managed to live according to that plan. Thanks to that plan my dogs found the best walking routes, our […]

Remember back in December 2019/

December 29, 2021 by dpankiewicz

BACK IN 2019 WE WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING ANGEL JOIN US IN THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND WE WERE PLANNING TO SHOW HIM THE FINER PARTS OF TOWN AND THE BEACH. WE EVEN CREATED A LIST OF PLACES FOR OUR FRIEND TO CHECK OUT. Who would have thought immediately after that Christmas the whole world would be upside down? Looking back on that time I’m glad we were able to get everybody together. Visit a Fort, does Ft. Walton Beach […]

Why Cities Are The Way They Are

December 27, 2021 by dpankiewicz

A comprehensive look at the elements that have shaped our cities over the last 100 years… in a single blog post. Why Cities Are The Way They Are Today after the holiday, the family time, the meals, the laughter and the puppy walk I really didn’t have anything to write, but I did truly reflect on this post from my feed. I chose change, love and hope. I love finding like minded humans. Just me in the lounge chair.

A 2nd Covid-19 Christmas. . .Merry, Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2021 by dpankiewicz

The year is 2021. This Christmas the whole world continues its celebration with Covid-19 protocols in place. To think back in December 2019 we were watching the Covid-hospitals being built in Wuhan. At the end of 2021 we are all still living in this pandemic. We still need to rejoice in the ability of mankind to adapt, innovate and unite this Christmas. We need to keep the hope alive that we will return to a better, simpler world post-Covid. We […]

It’s not quite this warm in Pittsburgh.

December 23, 2021 by dpankiewicz

I really don’t need a white Christmas. I’m ok with white sand instead of snow. Right now rain looks like it will be greeting Santa. right now I’m going to think warmer thoughts.

Questions about the Yucatan and Quintana Roo. . .

December 22, 2021 by dpankiewicz

Ok, PL&D Tours was taking notes and wanted to give you the 411 that was a little too much to go over while taking in the sand, sun and sea. The Yucatan is made up of Three Mexican Provinces. We were in the state of Quintana Roo and were in Solidaridad, just south of Cancun and north of Puerto Morelos. Puerto Morelos is the largest port city in Quintana Roo and also the municipality with the highest seaweed amounts due […]

Typical situation in a typical town.

December 21, 2021 by dpankiewicz

Hey pups of Puppsburgh, this is one sweet dog world right now as my humans have been really letting me rule their world. I thought I had it good when I was being trained by Ms. Crosby but now that I’m an only, all the walk choices have been mine. The meals have been made for just me so it’s always pork and beef. I no longer have a couch buddy in the office so I’ve been sticking to my […]
