I don’t know what the Derby club is like in Lawrenceville but I can tell you from the outside, Hambone’s was way better.

Tree Pittsburgh tree adoptions were hopping today. Definitely more people than trees available. I picked up a silky dogwood for the eastern corner of the yard.

Ugghhhhhhhh. I’m sorry. I hope you can get this straightened out for him without more stress.

We have three types in southwestern Pennsylvania. The black-capped and Carolina chickadees are hard to distinguish, but I love when I can find a Boreal chickadee.

I've struggled to explain this to my parents when they ask, "why does your number always come up [as being from] [small PA town]? You don't live there."

Because that's the origin of the number provider, back when Verizon first gave it to me.

I can't afford the tariffs any longer, so I have to get it from Portuguese-American shops.

I used to run an Isuzu car club. At our largest, we were 880 owner-members. A friend from the club let me take out his turbo Lotus Elan and I am certain my stomach was 4 miles behind the car at all times.

Drugs are....a helluva drug, man. Imagine ruining your life one way, but then further ruining your life because of the first choice.

Tomorrow, our unfair labor practice strike against @post-gazette.com marks it's third full year. Three years of fighting the most lawless union-busting campaign can be tiring, but we're never going to quit fighting.

Last night, we were uplifted to see a new sign adorning the Pittsburgh skyline...

Three banners, two black with white text and one red with white text, that read POST-GAZETTE STRIKERS WILL WIN hang from a yellow bridge with the Pittsburgh skyline in the background.

Fact: The Dutch are the tallest race of people on earth. Which gives them a distinct advantage when it comes to aircraft maintenance.

This makes me think of the first grad school assignment I was given: write instructions on tying a shoe for someone who has never done this. My final instruction set was 116 steps.

There is an election on November 4 in Pennsylvania. You should vote if you can. Your vote should be an informed one. Elections have real consequences. A friend informed me today that food stamps have stopped going out and lots of people will not be able to afford food in November.

The ancient Romans imported Portuguese urine and used it as mouthwash. #JNN

Oh no, that’s a classic move (though most folks use their phone torches due to fire regulations).

I look at Kim Kardashian’s latest thong designs, and really that whole family….and I realize that morality keeps me broke.

Thanks. That will happen eventually, I am sure!

I'd like to hope that's just coming from a place of exhaustion and not disdain for your choices.

I've told people that my grandparents had 10 and 8 kids, respectively, and I almost always get, "your family is Catholic, aren't they?" remark.
