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…

You live, you learn. . .
I remember the buzz back in Kennedy Hall- somehow this rock show was coming to Latrobe, PA. This Canadian singer who already had two chart topping hits came to campus. Her dance and voice were completely enthralling and captivating. In last night’s touring production Jo- Jade McLeod completely nailed the mannerisms and voice. If you…

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.…

Reflecting back to our Cruise.
It is summer in the US. Some of us have already gone on holiday, while others may still have their holiday scheduled. No matter whether we drive, fly, ride, or sail one thing for certain is our holiday gives us a chance to see the world through a different lens. By traveling we get to…

Twenty-twenty-too Beach Walk
On this day 5 years ago we were walking and laughing and dancing and loving on the beach. The song of the day has been the theme for the last 5 years of the rollercoaster of life. We’ve learned to be flexible and focus on progress over perfection. We’ve been faced with a whole lot…

This is Phoebe approved.
In case you are aware of the American Political Theater going on this week. This is my favorite one of the week so far. If you don’t know Cory Booker, you may want to read up on him, his background, what he did as mayor and what he’s trying to do in the do-nothing-Senate. Meanwhile…

Listen to: Wear Sunscreen. . .Baz Lurhmann
Do you remember graduation day? From high school, from college, from day care? Do you recall who gave the commencement speech? Do you remember any advice provided in that day by either the administrator, class leader or speaker? At this point there is little I can recall on these events, from a long time ago,…

Why Cities Are The Way They Are
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…

Painting, Staining, Dog Walking & Golfing before Memorial Day.
In 2021 Memorial Day in the United States of America is a good time for a pause. We can reflect on the sacrifices made by the men, women, BIPOC, API, and canines that have served in our military for various wars, conflicts, political commitments and corporately encouraged wars. We must also reflect on what happened…

Phoebe’s first 60 days.
I know some people like to start their new roles on the right foot. Some dog’s may not let out their true colours until after they have found their comfort within a new pack. Looking back on that first week, struggling to get Phoebe’s leash on before she bolted. Those first few days sleeping on…
