Return to Cutieβs and Reflecting on Vacation!
This morning, I made my first visit to Cutie’s in three weeks. I wanted to go, but life just happened to get in the way. I was busy preparing for my Hershey trip.

2024 Winter TLI: A Centennial of Success!
Saturday morning, I attended club officer training at Westmoreland County Community College. We had a split amount of officers attending in person and online.

My Pittsburgh Shopping Tradition!
On Friday, I picked up where I left off with my 2024 Christmas shopping.

The first trip was memorable and it kickstartedContinue reading “My Pittsburgh Shopping Tradition!”
Braving the Cold Weather for a DangeRUSS!
Wednesday night we held our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting. I thought about the weather as the forecast was calling for snow in the evening. Luckily, it held off until later that night.

December is Made for Football!
The 2024 NFL season is turning out to be one of the greats. After last season, which I felt was disappointing, 2024 has made up for it with some great games. Even Thursday Night Football has been good with great divisional contests. Sure, Kansas City and Buffalo still rule the AFC and Detroit is havingContinue reading “December is Made for Football!”
A Recap of November
If four things could sum up the month of November for me, it would be turkey sandwiches, great holiday coffee, great football, and going to Hershey for the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. Even a cold at the end of the month which I’m over now hasn’t sullied the month for me. I started my turkeyContinue reading “A Recap of November”
