Happy New Year. Last night, we participated in the festivities on Penn Avenue at the First Night Celebration. We had a really wonderful time: dinner at Six Penn, an entertaining stroll up and down Penn and Liberty, two delightful comedy shows and the company of my best girl, Ledcat. The Amish Monkeys were very cute, […]
My buddy Jeff Freedman, chair of the Pittsburgh PrideFest Committee gave me the heads up on an upcoming “town hall” meeting to get community input on impending changes in PrideFest. To summarize, the GLCC has produced PrideFest for the past 5 years or so after it was nearly bankrupted by previous producers. <I always like […]
From the PG's Forum section comes this reflection on the pontifical peace perspective. On World Peace Day, Jan. 1, most of the world's citizens will be too poor, too hungry, too surrounded by violence or too worried by this century's other basic challenges to pay attention. Those who do pay attention likely will think first […]
While I was blogging about the Hot Metal Faith Community, something from the Post-Gazette article caught my eye.

This has been one of the worst weeks in a long time. Saturday afternoon, I was delivering Christmas gifts to foster kids when some jerk ran a red light on Penn Avenue and actually plowed a second car right into my CRV. I wasn't hurt beyond the usual whiplashy things and my car isn't terribly […]
The tree in front of our house died a tragic death nearly two years ago. I was sad, nearly as much as when PennDOT and the Redd Up crew slaughtered the perfectly healthy trees in the alley behind my home. In the ensuing two years, Ledcat and I, along with several neighbors, have dutifully dialed […]
I caught an article in the Post-Gazette about the impending relocation of a local non-traditional faith community — the Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community. It seems someone sold the Goodwill Building so the Hot Metal folks are in search of a worship space. The Hot Metal Community is more street than avenue. Founded by two […]
I really believe that this song inspired me to become a social worker. Yes, I know that it is hokey and Eurocentric, but it is still my favorite holiday song and I get a little lump in my throat every time Bono urges me to thank god its them instead of me. Now I just […]
