Some thoughts for this Monday of Holy Week.

The weather has certainly been full of quick changes lately. One day it is 70 degrees and sunny, and the next is cloudy and the thermometer barely reaches 40. Thunderstorms have blown in quickly and fiercely. And some neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh area saw flash flooding this week, so named beca...

Thoughts on this rainy monday.

It is difficult to traverse the city of Pittsburgh without entering a tunnel. The Liberty, Fort Pitt, and Squirrel Hill tunnels are all officially named and well-known. Many drivers slow down as they approach them, often to the frustration of others around them, either intimidated by the perceive...

Some thoughts on this cold monday morning.

The 25th Winter Olympics are over, and I am still in awe. The athletes fascinate me, and I cannot help but admire their physical and mental feats.

Names that had family significance, names that reminded us of special friends, and even names to avoid. First names that seemed appropriate with our surname. Names have conn...

Thought for this chilly monday.

Ferris wheels are popular rides. From amusement parks to local fairs to the Navy Pier in Chicago to the London Eye, it is a classic ride. Slow and steady, quiet, granting a sweeping view. But I remember hearing a story from a friend who was on a Ferris wheel that just kept going around and around a...

Thoughts on this monday.

This was the final week of the regular football season. Records were broken. Some teams earned spots in the playoffs, others saw their hopes crushed. (Wow, Steelers!) Some coaches tried some inventive plays, but most stuck with what had worked for them throughout the season: the best quarterbacks pa...

Some thoughts on this rainy morning.

In Scotland, these are called the Daft Days. In Norway, it is Romjul. We are in the midst of the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, often jokingly referred to as the week of no time. Many people have shortened work schedules, school is out of session, and lazy days are the norm. it is eas...

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Toys for Tots campaign!

Because of your generosity, we collected nearly 90 toys and 160 books. With an average of 2–3 gifts per child, that means we’re able to help bring smiles to between 80 and 125 children this season.

We are so grateful for your support and kindness. Merry Christmas!
