14 Random Goals for 2014

For those of you anxious about the pre-Thanksgiving Christmas music, this might blow your mind – I was prompted to share my New Year’s Resolutions for 2014. I can’t honestly think that deeply right now. So here are some random things I’d like to do in 2014. 1. Dust off the Wii and see what […]

Favorite Television Thanksgiving Moments: “Their Names are Eric and Troy”

Oh, this is wonderful!

Favorite Thanksgiving Television Memories: “You Won”

Spike, Thanksgiving

As usual Spike lends a unique perspective to the moral quandary of the week. It is actually interesting to think what someone whose hundreds of years old might have to say about such things. Except he kills people (minus the chip). So there’s that. Still, this is a good episode and impossible to find online. […]

A Confession – I Reported You to the U.S. Postal Service

USPS

We all hate junk mail, yet through the mail slot it comes almost daily. So I scoop it up, sort it and don’t worry about it for another 24 hours. Except, the post man is not the only perpetrator. There’s a whole slew of folks who like to use my mail slot to deliver their […]

It’s like a cake and a cookie.

Post-Gazette Profiles Same-Sex Couple for National Adoption Day Story

The Post-Gazette’s Rich Lord profiled Kizzy and Sandra, a married lesbian couple who adopted a sibling group of 4 this past weekend on National Adoption Day. This day is organized to recognize the thousands of children who are eligible for adoption through foster care – something close to my heart. Kizzy and Sandra were married […]

Favorite Television Thanksgiving Moments: “Oh The Humanity”

One of the best. “As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”

Baby, It’s Cold Outside (But Nina Sat at the Table Anyway)

I love this photo and I’m not one to say that about my own shots. Saturday evening, Laura and I along with our friend Lyndsey headed out to the Waterfront for dinner and a trip to I Made It! For the Holidays. It began to snow during our travels and when we arrived, Lyndsey and […]
