New Year’s Eve is coming in just a few days and soon, we’ll be watching the ball drop and welcoming 2026. It’s kind of scary to think aboutContinue reading “Christmas 2025: A Look Back “

It’s a Wrap on Christmas Shopping!
It’s time to sit back and count down to Christmas. I’ve officially wrapped up shopping for the holiday, finishing up yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t hard to wrap the last few presents this morning.

After the Storm
The snow on the ground is melting as the sun shines on this cold mid-December day. Tuesday was nice compared to the cold, snowy weekend we just had. Pittsburgh received seven inches of snow from Saturday’s storm. After the snow ended, we dealt with two days of bitter cold temperatures. It wasn’t even worth goingContinue reading “After the Storm”

Grinch Sunday!
It’s December and I’m trying to post 20 blogs this month, because it just wouldn’t be Christmas without posting about it. Even though I won’t make it to 200 this year, it’s still been a good 2025… political drama aside. This morning, I worked off some of that Thanksgiving Turkey by riding the indoor cycleContinue reading “Grinch Sunday!”
Happy Thanksgiving at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Tuesday night was my night off and also Laurel Highlands Toastmasters night. We were online which made sense due to the inclement weather.
