9/11/2023 start to a new week that will be less than ideal.
I remember that morning in the AK valley, heading into town, listening to Howard and Pamela when Gary came in to interrupt after the first plane hit the tower. I was at the gym before work when the second plane hit. Downtown Pittsburgh was cleared out before I had to go in for work that…

Peace UMC Pickerington.
We had a little event this morning in Pickerington. It started at the traditional service. And ended with a little gathering.

Flag Day, Crawford Play, dos Y cero and the rains in PA.
Here in Aspinwall we observed Flag Day on June 14–so did Lower Burrell and East Brady. Later this week we observe Juneteenth. These two federal observances reflect on this country’s history. While we claim our democracy to be great, we do have issues with how we’ve treated all inhabitants of our land. We are now…

Baby dolphins, phoebe and mco
Happy Thursday! June 8, 2023. I’m taking a few minutes to re-listen and reflect on yesterday’s amazing session by Dave Matthews and Howard Stern. The levels of connection were amazing. The depth of Daves first song and the new fans on the scene discussion, remind me why every Dave Day is an amazing Dave Day.…

If you build it they will come. . .
What is most important to create livable communities? Is the key to a happy thriving community physical, financial or sociological? I’ve been very lucky to be local to multiple places and live in some of the best communities and also communities that have begun to lose their hope and identity. Be the change, you need…

Happy Hearts Day!
Dear Dog God, OK we may be a day or two late but after this crazy February weather in Pittsburgh, we have a good excuse. Between outdoor place and long walks we haven’t given dad much time to write. In this episode we talk about dog love and movies to watch. . . Yes! Phoebe…

Dog Walks and Ice
And then there was sun again. One out of five days isn’t bad. OK it was really cold for Christmas in Pittsburgh. So cold that we dreamed of our time on the beach and in Florida golfing at Indian Bayou this year. This time of year it is good to stay warm. Instead of hitting…

‘‘Twas the night b4 Christmas.
And the fun has begun. I’m not quite sure why we picked Pittsburgh over Cancun or the Panhandle especially after this cold front. The good news is we’ve been able to catch the Penguins, Diamond and the Peters family. Our house is overly stirring. Three dogs, many humans, plenty of cookies and even the mouse…

I would fly 500 miles and I would drive 500 more. . .
It’s been a few exciting days since this weekend. There was futsal on Saturday, flying on Sunday and driving Monday and Tuesday. On Saturday there was the sucker discussion as we had parents fighting amongst themselves over the rules of futsal. If only everybody had a sucker to suck on instead of opening their mouths.…

November 2022 in the USA: Fox, NPR, CNN, CBS, Newsmax, Al Jazeera or Howard Stern.
If you are living in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida or Ohio you already know and likely are tired of all the messaging that controls the airwaves, your social media feeds, your email and US Mailbox. The Senate is up for grabs this November. Battleground states mentioned above are besieged by PAC and super-PAC money. Is…

Crawford’s first fall.
The year is 2022 and we have just crossed from summer into fall. Our little bundle of pyrenees and golden joy is celebrating his first fall. If you meet him, if you are around him, if you get to spend a weekend with him, just remember we all need to call him Crawford. Not Mr.…
