We are closing in on Presidents’ Distinguished at Laurel Highlands, our history making Toastmasters club which chartered in 2021. We just need one new member and two educational awards and we should qualify for top honors. I’m on standby in case my Level 2 is needed to help them achieve their goal. If not, I’llContinue reading “Racing to the Top!”

Where You Lead I Will Follow, That’s What She Said
Later this week begins the rewatch for two iconic shows that got most people through the pandemic and the events of 2020. Gilmore Girls got me through part of that crazy time as I started it before COVID-19 even made the news. Knowing what that a pandemic was coming and we’d be staying safe atContinue reading “Where You Lead I Will Follow, That’s What She Said”
Mental Health Deja Vu?
This April started out the same as the last one. Wet and the rivers look as if they’re going to flood again. This weekend once again brings the chance for heavy rain and thunderstorms and that will be followed by snow chances early in the week, though it won’t be much. Temperatures are looking likeContinue reading “Mental Health Deja Vu?”
Appreciating the Gifts You Receive
This blog is a day late but I had some things I wanted to add to it. I’ll still date it for Tuesday and I’ll preview my next blog set to come out on Thursday. This past Friday was Valentine’s Day. Weatherwise, it was the calm before the storm. It was cold, but it wasContinue reading “Appreciating the Gifts You Receive”
Return to Cutie’s 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. I was sick and I still managed not to call off of work. Also, I had other things to take care of.Continue reading “Return to Cutie’s and Reflecting on Vacation!”
James the Food Slayer: Olive Garden
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”
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!”
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 📱”
Looking Ahead to Summer!
It’s been a good year so far as I’ve written more than I thought I would. After a slow start to 2024, I’ve taken off this Spring with the content I’ve posted. It’s like I’ve really done a lot with nothing at all to work with. Looking ahead, I think I’ll smash last year’s contentContinue reading “Looking Ahead to Summer!”
A Look Back at May
I came into May stylin’ and profilin’. Despite a whirlwind month emotionally, I have no doubt that June will be a better month and the start of a great summer. May started out sunny and warm. The first of the month we had a perfect night for a Toastmasters meeting and I was able toContinue reading “A Look Back at May”
