Not if you’re looking for a spouse or the love of your life and you’re over sixteen. According to this article in the Post-Gazette called Match Game, the only people in Pittsburgh who don’t have trouble dating are under 21 and can be found dancing on tabletops at what used to be called CJ Barneys [...]

I can’t say I’m having a mid-life crisis because I’m only thirty-eight and I’m quite sure I’ll live to be one hundred, but certainly I’ve burned more than a third and a quarter pf my days so let’s just say I’m in general life-crisis. Partly it’s sending Jake to kindergarten and knowing Beth will be [...]

We had to put Max to sleep yesterday and though I’m happy she is no longer in pain, the utter silence left in her absence is mind-jarring. From the time we’d drive into the drive-way she’d be barking like a lunatic, only to crescendo into full-fledged coronary status once we made it up the basement [...]

Steelers, Penguins, Pirates (so what if they stink, next year’s their year, I can feel it), perogies, [...]

Due to my excessive August Absence my post with Justin Evans has gone nearly unnoticed.  Please scroll down and read it.  Justin is an awesome writer and I’m going to have to bug you all forever until you do…

This comment showed up the other day. I guess I’m arrogant to think my writing conveys sarcasm and humor in the little things in life that I find interesting and irritating. But spoiled??? Oh please anonymous Alice.  I may be fortunate.  But I’m not spoiled. The funniest thing is that the post is from two [...]

Okay, a wide stance while pooping. Yeah, that makes sense.  Here’s your assignment: Go into public bathroom. Sit on toilet. Try to stick your foot under the stall wall and imagine another foot (better yet, take a friend and do the experiment with him or her) on the other side and as your foot “accidentally” [...]
