It has been awhile since we posted opinions from local “Letters to the Editor” sections … The Tribune-Review has been hopping with a back and forth discussion about marriage equality. First, Rudy published some sort of anti-gay screed which I can’t find online. But then Jim Harger of New Kensington responds by pointing out that […]
Wednesday, January 23, 2013 What is the most creative way you conserve energy in your home? The uncreative parts of conservation involve changing our habits and following “best practices: Set the thermostat and do not “adjust” except in cases of true sickness.

Friday, January 18, 2013 What would be your superhero name and why? Today is the “half-year” anniversary for Ledcat and me … 9 and 1/2 years together. We have an ongoing “discussion” about what constitutes our anniversary since we aren’t able to legally marry. But she humors me. So, one time I asked my Facebook […]
This a well done infographic.
Throwing a tennis ball to my dogs. I love it. I can’t do it with my bum hand — and my left hand throws fill Ms. Marjorie’s fenced-in-yard with most of our balls. But it is so much fun to see how joyfully they play. Xander is relentless. Deus yips and prances. Ana barks fiercely […]
