King opened his first restaurant in 1967 in North Versailles (under the name Kings Country Shoppes).

Looking Back In Time
We’re now into February, and it’s hard to believe it’s already the fourth day of the month. January lasted about a whole year and I never thought we’d thaw out from that extreme cold. At least I had football to keep me occupied this month. I don’t find too many interesting pages on Instagram andContinue reading “Looking Back In Time”
Podcasts and Cutie’s win January. The Weather? Not so Much!
Today, we say goodbye to January 2025 and tomorrow, we turn the calendar to February. It couldn’t come at a better time as does this milder weather. We saw more than our fair share of snow, extreme cold, and it just seemed to drag on. While the weather is the biggest loser for the month,Continue reading “Podcasts and Cutie’s win January.

Conference Championship Recap
For some people, this Super Bowl is going to be a boring one and there will be rumblings that it was fixed. We shall see. On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles did their part, and then some, on Sunday. The Washington Commanders were trying to continue the amazing season that they’d been having. Early on itContinue reading “Conference Championship Recap”
You Couldn’t Ignore Me if you Tried
This week I began a new reading project on a book that I bought and partially read during the pandemic in 2020.

NFL Divisional Playoff Preview
Good morning. I didn’t do a preview for last week‘s Wild Card Weekend, but all the games were good with a few surprises. Here’s a quick recap of all six games. I did not expect Houston to beat the Chargers they way they did. Justin Herbert was that bad in defeat and it ruined aContinue reading “NFL Divisional Playoff Preview”
Remembering my Firsts
On Wednesday night at our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting, the theme for our Table Topics session was firsts. Our Table Topics master asked us what some of our first things in life were. We all gave great answers to the questions being asked. This table topics session also inspired me to write this next blog comingContinue reading “Remembering my Firsts”
I Found a Mental Health Podcast!
This week has not been the greatest weather wise as winter is really here and there’s no more colorful Christmas lights to accentuate the snow. It made me feel a little bit burned out as well and it seems like Spring isn’t getting here any time soon. I was going to do an NFL reviewContinue reading “I Found a Mental Health Podcast!”
Making Changes in 2025!
Christmas 2024 is officially in the rear view mirror. Time to look ahead to winter and chilly days, said no one ever. After a record setting year, I’m ready to take it a little easier this year, at least in the early months. Not sure what’s planned for the Summer and Fall months yet.
