Last night Mr. Clougherty and I got together for our monthly dinner (aka The Dinner Series). We usually meet the last Thursday of every month but with Kevin going to the beach next week, we moved it up a week. Thus, I have the opportunity to attend Greensburg Night Market next week. Hopefully, the heatContinue reading “James the Food Slayer: Olive Garden”

Handing off the Gavel
The countdown to my summer vacation just got real! Eight more hours of work and I am officially off until July 1. But before that, we had our last Greensburg Toastmasters meeting of the year and it was a good one. We heard two ice breakers (one from a new member and one from aContinue reading “Handing off the Gavel”
Defining my new roles for 2024-25
Tonight is our final meeting for the Toastmasters year, which ends on June 30. In tonight’s blog however, I’ll talk about the roles I am taking on for next year.

Milestone
Today is a day to celebrate, just as it will be in a few days and on Saturday at Club Officer Training. I’ve been putting content on this blog since November 2019. I didn’t know what was going to happen a few months later, no one did. That didn’t diminish my hopes and dreams. InsteadContinue reading “Milestone”
A Big Week Ahead
This week is going to be nuts. Let’s talk about why it’s going to be crazy. It’s going to be hot. We have an excessive heat watch in effect until Friday. Plenty of time will be spent in the pool and staying hydrated and cool. Starting today and up through the end of the week,Continue reading “A Big Week Ahead”
Working 7 to get 10!
The countdown to my vacation has officially begun! I’ll work these next seven days up to Friday morning and then I’m off for the next ten days. It’s nice to now have two weeks off now, not to mention those weeks are paid. I went without that for almost 15 years even though I enjoyedContinue reading “Working 7 to get 10!”
Getting Groomed for TLI!
The weather is heating up next week for the start of summer and that means it’s time to cool off with a dip in the pool. Morning lows in the 70s means the water will be warmer than it has been. For me, this incoming stretch of hot and humid weather also means it’s timeContinue reading “Getting Groomed for TLI!”
Taking On Some Big Roles in 2024
The year like no other that is 2024 continues to work its magic. During the last few months of the Toastmasters year, we hold our officer elections for those interested in serving a role in our club next year. We took care of business in Greensburg at the beginning of May and just finalized ourContinue reading “Taking On Some Big Roles in 2024”
A Time Without Social Media and Mobile Phones 📱
Over the last two decades, it’s become apparent that social media has taken over the world. Facebook, YouTube, and MySpace started in 2003 (the year I started at Slippery Rock!). A few years later, enter Twitter (now X) which began after I finished college. As we begin a new decade, we are introduced to Instagram.Continue reading “A Time Without Social Media and Mobile Phones 📱”
Finally, a Fitness Blog!
Yesterday was a red letter day in the weather department, so I took advantage of the sunshine and got a walk in. I wanted to go to Hempfield Park but with an event going on (and they had attendents there so it had to be big), I had to improvise. Greensburg Salem High School wasn’tContinue reading “Finally, a Fitness Blog!”
