Friday felt like a day of rest after a busy afternoon on Thursday. I needed it since I was resting up for my trip to Slippery Rock the next morning. I watched a couple of Gilmore Girls episodes from season 1. The snow in Stars Hollow looks so pretty. In the afternoon, I took offContinue reading “The Penultimate Day of Vacation!”

Visiting the Neighborhood and My Little Stars Hollow!
My original plans for Thursday as I was still on my week off were to go into Pittsburgh and visit one of the museums. I was thinking about going to the Andy Warhol Museum. But between the cost of admission and parking downtown, I was looking for a more cost-friendly option. The Pittsburgh Zoo andContinue reading “Visiting the Neighborhood and My Little Stars Hollow!”

It’s Anybody’s Game in the NFL in 2025!
So far, the 2025 NFL season is proving that it’s anybody’s game and that parity reigns supreme. I followed the game very closely last year and even enjoyed the Thursday night games (some of the divisional rivalries). The difference in 2025 is that there’s no juggernaut so far. The last two teams to go undefeatedContinue reading “It’s Anybody’s Game in the NFL in 2025!”
