Memorial Day Zoom Time.

May 24, 2020 by dpankiewicz

How many of you traveled more than 10 miles this holiday weekend? How many of you got out in nature this weekend? Dog walk? Boat ride? 5k run? SUP on the river? Fishing? Bike ride? Luckily in the Pittsburgh region summer arrived. Sunscreen was required and shade was a good thing. What else did we do this holiday? Connect with the Arrigo cousins on Zoom. Some dialed in, while others connected on laptops or tablets. It was good to see […]

Move it, Move it

May 16, 2020 by dpankiewicz

This is overdue considering my normal routine of BodyTech, Planet Fitness or lap swimming has been interrupted by Covid-19. First I realized that going to the gym wasn’t the best idea with an airborne pathogen going around. Then the governor issued the official closure order. I’m glad I realized that was coming before the rest of America as I needed to upgrade a dumbbell or two and add in a bosu ball to complete the tiny home gym. I can […]

Is this 2020 or 1920?

May 12, 2020 by dpankiewicz

Or maybe 1918?!?! I know for most of us this lockdown to prevent Covid-19 spread seems very extreme. Depending on where you sit your state may have abandoned the lockdown at only 8 weeks or you may be continuing this until August. I can tell you my soccer blocks are up through August as that really isn’t that important at this time. Listening to Dr. Fauci is really amazing since he doesn’t sugar coat anything- you realize that this current […]

Nueve de Mayo en Pittsburgh

May 9, 2020 by dpankiewicz

Instead of thinking spring, planting flowers and swimming during this lockdown we received a little more winter. Maybe the groundhog thought early spring meant the start of quarantine. Hopefully our outdoor flowers survive.

From Diplo to Sweeney Todd

April 29, 2020 by dpankiewicz

What have you done to keep yourself entertained during the stay at home order? Have you attended a dance party? Have you prayed along with a spirtual leader to a screen? Did you tune in to the London performance of Phantom? Maybe Farm Aid at home? Saturday Night Live with Dr. Fauci? In case you’ve made it through every episode of Murder She Wrote on Prime here are a few other roles that Angela Lansbury played. I always love Sweeney […]

Are you afraid of this pause?

April 26, 2020 by dpankiewicz

Just taking a few minutes to take in everything that’s going on right now and wondering if I’m the only one thinking the overall big picture may never be the same after the world has been in lock down. I know when I was in Florida after Christmas seeing what was happening in China that we were bound to see something back here in the states, but had no idea it would be this big. If you are wondering if […]

Virtual Travel with Tangerine Travels

April 25, 2020 by dpankiewicz

I needed a paddleboard fix and sun today. Let’s take a trip with our friends from Tangerine Travels to paddleboard on some amazing water in Quintana Roo a bit south of Playa del Carmen. Today’s temperatures there were over 90, meanwhile in Pittsburgh it’s rain and gray and 55. By the way— Laska is adorable. So we’ve done the Zoom game nights, happy hour, coffee, church, Easter dinner and now Monopoly. Now we are planning for a birthday party. For […]
