August 22 marked 20 years since I arrived on campus at Slippery Rock. I remember the morning very well. It was late summer, overcast, and humid. We had already seen the campus a few times to go to orientation, schedule my classes, and to take a look at the place. This was officially the dayContinue reading “20 Years Later: My First Semester at Slippery Rock University”

This question has been going through my mind the last week, and I’ve been taking some time to sleep on it. Am I taking a social media holiday? For now, I’m not but it might not be a bad idea in the future. I am going to keep my Instagram and Facebook open so IContinue reading “Am I Taking A Social Media Holiday?”

I’m calling this blog what it is, and that would be a potpourri blog. It will have a little bit of everything from the last few days (today included). Tuesday night, I took advantage of some free time between work and dinner. We eat early (usually around 4pm) when Annabelle has karate so that meansContinue reading “Downtown Greensburg Potpourri Blog”

Come with me today as I reminisce on days gone by when it was time for back to school shopping. Later I’ll talk about my upcoming FALL HAUL and I’ll wrap up the blog by looking ahead to Back to School shout outs. Maybe I won’t look ahead and enjoy what’s left of Summer 2023.Continue reading “25 Years Later: Back to School Shopping!”

Get ready with me as I prepare for tonight’s Pittsburgh adventure. There were things that made tonight special: Primanti’s for dinner, riding the subway from Gateway Center down to the North Shore, and of course the game itself. But before we talk about tonight’s Pirate game, just how did I get to this game? Also,Continue reading “A Well-Played Night!!!”

Last night I watched the Super Mario Bros. movie on Peacock. Was it as good as when I saw it the first time in the theatre. I would say yes and I will say yes to seeing this movie if you haven’t already. I digress, but on to today’s blog post. In July, I hadContinue reading “When Will I Hit 500?”

Hard to believe it’s already August 1! The year is already flying by, as is summer. School will be starting up soon as most districts around southwestern Pennsylvania are back to classes in a few weeks. Hempfield Area’s first day back will be August 24, as noted by Annabelle’s disgruntled reaction to today’s date. Here’sContinue reading “Hello August!”

In today’s blog, I’ll look back at this past month and what really stood out to me. It was the beginning of a new Toastmaster year on July 1 and the start of my term as President of the Greensburg Toastmasters club. Our first meeting of the year was July 5 and during the meeting,Continue reading “Goodbye July!”

This blog looks back at a college transfer event that I attended in 2002. This event would decide my future when I graduated from community college the following Spring. It was held at the local vocational-technical school, the Greater Johnstown Career and Technology Center (GJCTC) in Richland Township, across from the University of Pittsburgh atContinue reading “College Transfer Day: 20 Years Later”

In tonight’s installment of the Westmoreland dinner series (unofficial name), Mr. Clougherty and I ate at Rizzo’s in Crabtree. I was inspired to try it out after the Hempfield Area swimming and diving team held their yearly banquet here this past Spring. Rizzo’s is located on Rizzo Road in Crabtree, just off US 119. NearbyContinue reading “James the Food Slayer: Rizzo’s”
