We’ve reached Day 7 of my Giant Eagle Stay-cation, or about 6 1/2. So far, it has turned out good. I took time to get outside and walk at Twin Lakes. I’ll do the same today as I make my way to Mammoth Park. I watched football. I also got out of the house andContinue reading “Halftime of my Vacation”

My Giant Eagle staycation continued Sunday with a guest appearance at one of my old Toastmasters clubs. I belonged to Achievers from 2012 to 2018 before taking the 2018-19 Toastmaster year off and rejoining in the Summer of 2019. The club met in different locations every month and then settled on Blairsville from 2019 untilContinue reading “A Reunion Sunday”

This morning started out chilly. You needed something to keep you warm if you were going outside to do work. We performed the difficult task of closing down our swimming pool for the year. I only swam a number of times in the pool since I had so many other things calling for my attentionContinue reading “James and the Very Productive Saturday”

Looks like we made it, finally! The calendar was turned this morning to September. For those of you who love Summer, it comes as a hard dose of reality that the season will be over soon and the pools will be closing. Kennywood goes from amusement park to haunted Halloween hideaway. The forecast next weekContinue reading “Hello September!”

August is coming to end, and September will be here soon. That means three things. Cooler weather is on the way, the NFL kicks off its regular season, and Pumpkin Spice season goes into full swing. My favorite season kicked off Aug. 16 when Dunkin’ starting selling their pumpkin flavored drinks and pastries. Starbucks followedContinue reading “Pumpkin Spice Tour 2023!”

Thursday night at Giant Eagle, our store leader put together an appreciation dinner, thanking those of us who work hard overnight to keep the store stocked. She put together a great spread which consisted of: pulled pork, mango chicken, beef and cheese skewers (sticking out of a pineapple) as well as a tray of cheeseContinue reading “Nightturn Appreciation Luau!”

My journey to higher education began during my senior year of high school. I was looking at colleges that I was interested in attending. I considered my options, which included Robert Morris, Point Park College, and Westmoreland County Community College. Two things to consider when I was applying were finances as well as SAT scores.Continue reading “20 Years Later: My First Semester of College”

Last night, Mr. Clougherty and I did our monthly dinner series. This time it was off to EDO Hibachi Steak House and Bar. For me, this was my second time there. For him, his first time. How was dinner at EDO Hibachi Steak House and Bar? I was impressed with how well the chef preparedContinue reading “James the Food Slayer: EDO Hibachi part II”
