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…
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…

You need to open this post email and read/watch it from the blog. If you didn’t hear about this yet, it made the New York Times. Turn up the sound on the video and note that these are schools from two counties just outside of Pittsburgh. If anybody wonders why I agreed to coach middle…
I found this old thought in my drafts and thought now was a good time to let it see the light of publication. We (the human global collective) are well along in our Covid-19 Marathon. While some countries have made some progress in vaccinating their vulnerable population and others are reaching out to vaccinate their…
It may have been one year late but the wait was completely worth it. Listening to all of the songs from GreenDay specifically American Idiot left me with a giant moment of reflection. I never saw mySelf a a liberal leaning leftist, but after Sept. 11 happened and we went on this polarizing stream of…

Yes, Fred pounded the Gulf. Here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania it impacted the location of our soccer practice one day and has us on dock and Kinzua watch. We are lucky that is the only issue for us right now but the consequences of climate change continue to show up everywhere. https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/app/nwd/?region=lower48&aoi=default https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.0/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=03030500&openhttps://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.0/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=03030500&open=122357=122357 https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.0/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=03032500&open=122372…
Current count is three! Thanks to this long Canada Day and United States Independence Day we all should be thinking of spending our work week during this holiday from our favorite places. Why would you want to drive to and from when your COVID mobility still exists? Take this week to learn a new skill…

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…
Spring is springing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the waters are stocked, it’s open season for vaccines and we need to keep wearing our masks, even as we celebrate another year of Brady’s Bend Township on 16-APRIL 2021. Observations from Brady’s Bend Spring has sprung up with an allergic reaction for me these past few…
It’s Sunday morning and the pups have been out for their first walk. Ms. Crosby is good with just a half mile after breakfast followed my a nap during CBS Sunday morning. As a senior elkhound Crosby will still take to snowy trails for a mile or more, because the snow brings out her inner…
If you’ve been following along, the Spirit of Reba has been carrying us on for just over the last two years. Crosby recently reminded us that even old dog’s need new friends. Thanks to this little nudging from Ms. Crosby we started looking for a new addition to her pack. We didn’t have to look…
We are beginning week four of life with Ms. Phoebe. When we first adopted Phoebe, we realized she had just given birth to a bunch of pups around the beginning of 2021. She had just stopped nursing and the pups were getting adopted before her. Since Ms. Phoebe has joined our house, I’ve begun the…
