The first night of my first conference in person since 2019 is in the books. I arrived at my hotel just after 5 and took some time to relax after getting checked in. The night began with our business meeting where we elected new officers at the District and Division levels. Afterwards, the Friday FunContinue reading “Toasting With Style: Friday Fun Night”

A Look Back At April
The month of April has drawn to a close and it was a record month. Pittsburgh set a record for precipitation with over eight inches of rain. A lot of that came in the first half of the month. The second half of April has not been quite as active. It looks May is startingContinue reading “A Look Back At April”
Conference Week Is Here!
Clothes? Check. Laptop? Check. Toiletries? Check. Friday marks the return of an annual event that I haven’t been to since before the pandemic hit. I’m talking about the annual District 13 Spring Conference. I’ve missed tradition three out of the last four years due to work and COVID.

Why did I write about this lost year if for most people and myself itContinue reading “Farewell to the 2020 Series (Finally!)”

I don’t always post sports blogs on this platform. In fact, I hardly ever do. The reason being is that there are plenty of sports bloggers who do a far better job than I do it plus, I don’t have the time to research the topic. If I maintained this blog fifteen years ago, itContinue reading “20 Years Earlier: The Greatest NFL Draft of my Lifetime”
