After my coffee visit, it was off to the Cranberry Area Municipal Building for the Division Brilliant Tall Tales and International Speech Contest. I got there with plenty of time to spare. I almost slept in but luckily woke up and clock read 7:30am. I quickly got dressed and was out the door just afterContinue reading “Division Brilliant Contest Saturday!”

Stylish Food and Drink Review—Convive Coffee Roasters
This morning, I attended the Division Brilliant International Speech and Tall Tales contest. Before that I stopped at a new coffee shop that I’ve followed on Instagram for a while. Cutie’s is my go-to for amazing coffee in Downtown Greensburg. However, I’ve been looking forward to visiting this place for a while. A perfect opportunityContinue reading “Stylish Food and Drink Review—Convive Coffee Roasters”
Trading Dylan Mulvaney for Emily Gilmore!
It wasn’t easy, but I survived the time change yesterday morning. Now, I’m able to enjoy more time outside. With highs reaching 70, I’ll be sure to get outdoors and take a few walks this week. On Saturday, when I closed off the blog, I looked back five years to when I watched Gilmore Girls.Continue reading “Trading Dylan Mulvaney for Emily Gilmore!”
Division Awesome Contest Saturday!
Today marked the first of at least three divisional contests, all in consecutive weeks, that I’ll be attending during the month of March. Not sure if Division D will be in my plans on March 29, though I’d love to see those in the contest compete. This morning’s contest was amazing with three areas andContinue reading “Division Awesome Contest Saturday!”
Going Back to the “Eye Shadow” Journal
This week has been nothing short of crazy. However, the universe is working in my favor this month as I’ll be off the next few Saturdays (barring a schedule change next week). I’ll be able to attend not only tomorrow’s contest but also the Division B contest next Saturday in Cranberry Township. These contests toContinue reading “Going Back to the “Eye Shadow” Journal”
Podcasts dominate February; Toastmasters Spirit high in March
In Wednesday’s blog, I remembered a couple of Pittsburgh personalities who recently passed away. Elvis left the building for the last time on February 19 when former Pittsburgh Penguins announcer Mike Lange died. “Scratch my back with a hacksaw” was one of his many catchphrases every time the Penguins scored a goal. Last Thursday, formerContinue reading “Podcasts dominate February; Toastmasters Spirit high in March”
In Memoriam
Last week, Pittsburgh lost two icons in 24 hours. Former voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins Mike Lange died on February 19 at the age of 76. A day later, I read of the passing of former KDKA weatherman Jon Burnett. Mike Lange served as the Penguins’ play-by-play announcer in 1974 and again from 1976 toContinue reading “In Memoriam”
Talk Up Toastmasters Monday!
The area contest season is winding down with the final contest on Saturday, and the best four contests will be starting next week. Friday night, I braved the snow covered roads on the mountain and made the drive to Johnstown for the area 21 contest. The best from Johnstown and Allegheny Mountains competed for aContinue reading “Talk Up Toastmasters Monday!”
The Area 21 Contest and Pizza Party
Friday night, I went to Johnstown to attend the Area 21 International Speech and Tall Tales contest. It was held at Arbutus Church of the Brethren, the meeting place for the Johnstown Toastmasters club. Representing the club were members from Johnstown and Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters clubs. You might ask yourself, did Johnstown have home fieldContinue reading “The Area 21 Contest and Pizza Party”
The Pod Swap I Never Knew I Needed!
This week I’ve really been getting into the ’90s rewatch podcasts and they’re trying to uplift my mood this week with all the cold air we’ve been dealing with. I also listened to another pod swap (in three parts by the podcasts involved). It was the shows that aired in the iconic TGIF block onContinue reading “The Pod Swap I Never Knew I Needed!”
