January has come and gone (finally!) and while it’s still going to be cold this week, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. This morning saw many venture up to Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney to see what the groundhog was predicting. Spoiler Alert: Phil saw his shadow, meaning six more weeksContinue reading “Books I’m Reading (in February and beyond)”

Who Moved My Cheese at Greensburg Toastmasters?!?
Wednesday night at our 100% virtual Greensburg Toastmasters meeting, we had two speakers (myself included). My speech was titled “Who Moved My Cheese?” as you can see from the image. Not only did I speak on the book and the experience of reading it for one of my classes at Slippery Rock, but I alsoContinue reading “Who Moved My Cheese at Greensburg Toastmasters?!?”
Part Trois: The Final Days of my Stylish Summer Vacation 2025!
I’m in the twilight of my Stylish Summer Vacation 2025. Sunday night, it’s back to Giant Eagle. I will get a couple of days off including the Fourth of July which I wanted.
