I’ve been battling something. I wake with a sore throat, but nothing else. As the day progresses I feel better and better. Like I can tackle the world and I’m ready to go. And, then it’s bedtime. The last few nights I’ve taken a Nyquil, but that’s left me groggy and still with ( Read more... )

This evening I went to a community meeting in Regent Square about a treehouse. Kate and Peter’s Treehouse. The meeting went well I think. It was nice to see the overall plans the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has. I like that they are planning well blended environmental ( Read more... )

Dear Tanner,

We’ve never met, but you’ve touched my life. Yesterday some friends and I ran a 5k just outside of Pittsburgh, PA in a beautiful, but very muddy, park called Hartwood Acres. It was pouring down rain. Everyone was drenched, even though we were all huddled under ( Read more... )

Yesterday late afternoon/evening Elle and I went running. Yes, in the rain. In the storm. Wow that was a ( Read more... )

A year ago today I never would have thought this is where I would be now. A year ago I was all about planning for when I finished school, and getting married, and starting a family. I will still do all these things, my plans are just slightly altered now.

Apparently, everyone is swiping this from Uncle Crappy. I’ve not been writing much and not for a lack of things happening but mostly due to not knowing how to put it all down.

So, now? Right now?

Tanner must be a pretty special kid. He’s gotta be pretty amazing. I first heard about him after my friend Elle asked me to run a 5K with her. When I mentioned this race to another friend it was suggested that we run in tutus in honor of Tanner.

Those of you who know me know ( Read more... )

I posted a question on Twitter this morning and got a slew of answers. It seemed like it could be ripe for further discussion not limited to 140 characters.

How old is too old for an Easter Egg hunt?

Context for your answer would be appreciated, such as; “15yr olds might gripe ( Read more... )
