I got an unexpected surprise this week. That would be a Wednesday evening off from work. It doesn’t happen often, unless I’m on vacation. When I woke up that afternoon, Mom went to pick up Annabelle from school. That bought me some time to wrap another gift. It didn’t take me long at all andContinue reading “Christmas Movies and New Years Resolutions at Greensburg Toastmasters!”

Reflecting on 20 Years!
On this day in 2005, I was at Morrow Field House on the campus of Slippery Rock University. The purpose was to receive my degree. I had completed my necessary courses in order to graduate. It was a bittersweet day. It was the end of an era. Don’t cry because it ended, smile because itContinue reading “Reflecting on 20 Years!”
After the Storm
The snow on the ground is melting as the sun shines on this cold mid-December day. Tuesday was nice compared to the cold, snowy weekend we just had. Pittsburgh received seven inches of snow from Saturday’s storm. After the snow ended, we dealt with two days of bitter cold temperatures. It wasn’t even worth goingContinue reading “After the Storm”
A Cold Weekend Ahead!
Recently, a content creator I have followed over the years celebrated another year on YouTube. Jesse Ridgway (also known as McJuggernuggets) started his channel in December of 2006. I was a year out of college at the time and trying to decide what to do with my life. This 14 year old from New JerseyContinue reading “A Cold Weekend Ahead!”

Onward and Upward at 2025 Winter TLI!
On Wednesday night, I served as Table Topics Master at our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting. I didn’t answer any of the questions myself. However in this blog, I will answer one of them. My question and answer I had for it will be at the end of this blog. Today, I’m putting together my Christmas list.Continue reading “Onward and Upward at 2025 Winter TLI!”
Feeling the Christmas Spirit!
My Christmas spirit is out in full force this week as it began the end of the Thanksgiving weekend with all three installments of the Grinch. It continues tonight with Rudolph on NBC and later the Muppet Christmas Carol. Over the weekend, I’ll view White Christmas and The Polar Express. As Christmas draws near, myContinue reading “Feeling the Christmas Spirit!”
A First at Greensburg Toastmasters?!?
Wednesday night, I braved the wind and cold temperatures to attend my Greensburg Toastmasters meeting. Just like two weeks ago when Greensburg had its Night Market, parking was hard to come by. That’s because there was a holiday show at the Palace Theatre. I parked all the way over on Second Street near all theContinue reading “A First at Greensburg Toastmasters?!?”

Now later in the month just before Christmas, my family’s tradition is to watch the more iconic movies like Christmas Vacation and Home Alone. My dad enjoys the very old movies like It’s A WonderfulContinue reading “My Christmas List”
