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…

Let’s talk about rest, relax and reframe.
It’s almost officially summer. Baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet used to be the song for summer, but now it seems soccer, swimming, smores, dolfin sightings and BBQ are the new twist on summer. I’ve had a pretty full spring of soccer, some coaching, some officiating and some official coaching. The current state of referee…

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…

Hopefully you will continue to find ways to get out in nature throughout this winter season just like they do every day. Thanks…

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…

Dave & Tim- Finger Lakes 2022
Rochester, NY— It was a good night to be out in the big City of Rochester with Nancy and Sarah. There was some wine to drink, squid and funghi to eat and gelato to desert upon. Stories were told, memories were made and sirens were sounded as we were on the edge of Mt. Hope…

At month 24 here’s a weekend update.
Some of you may recall me saying we were in for a marathon of unknown when Covid-19 came to the world. Globally the number is at 6 million, while the US is almost at 1 million. In fifty years everybody will be asking why didn’t we learn from 1918? Oh by the way Tim says…

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

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…

Prayers, mantras, therapy and cliches. . .
What do you say to yourself each morning? Dear Evan Hansen today is going to be a good day? @iamicaniwillido? Give yourself room to bloom? Our Father Who Art in Heaven? I welcome any tools that come to me to add to my toolbelt? – Dear Evan Hansen, Christine D’Ercole, The Heart Revival, Luke 11:2,…

Looking back on simpler times. . . pre-Covid-19
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…

Covid-19 October
As of this weekend I’ve now been able to SUP in the Allegheny for five consecutive months. I’ve pretty much decided that the only soccer I’ll be doing in 2020 is outdoor with my electronic whistle due to Covid-19. Why would I want to blow a whistle in the middle of a global pandemic? After…

Little Red Bird. . .
As I’ve been driving around Butler, Armstrong and Clarion and keep seeing these Trump/Pence signs that say God, Guns and Country. Everytime I see that sign I keep hearing a certain song in my head. . . It’s amazing how David J. Matthews predicted the world of Donald J. Trump.
