There are some updates on the boy’s progress here. I’m working on compiling a Quicktime movie of video footage for the site as well. Stay tuned.

In case you think I was over the edge before with my rant about the roads in my fine city, I’m not the only one who thinks this way: I strongly urge any football fan to take a trip to see this camp. It’s about as pure as anything in this mega-jillion game can be. […]

Let me rant for a bit on the sorry state of the infrastructure in Pittsburgh. Simply put, our street/highway system is not good. How bad can it be, you say? Well, let me give you a list of the worst bits of road in the city, and you can decide for yourself. These aren’t necessarily […]

I’d love to write more on this article, but I’m trying to finish another long post. All I will say is…the government should stay out of this. If a state government decides a faith-based prison program is the way to go for prisoner therapy, and they can prove their citizens are ok with idea (via […]

We took our climbing this weekend with the boy — to Coopers Rock (a couple of photos on the home page). It was good time, though we were only there for a few hours (since we left at 1pm). Seb seem to have a good time, taking all the nature in, so that’s a positive […]

Just a bunch of random stuff today: Seb got his first immunizations yesterday. What a truly heartbreaking event, seeing the boy in pain like that. He seems to be a little less grumpy today though… After an all-too-human start to the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong and the rest of the US Postal Service team […]

Liz Phair has responded to the NY TImes review of her new album. While I still think I won’t run out and buy her album, this behind the major record label contract, the real Liz Phair still exists…. At least the review itself isn’t trying so hard to be clever….

We lost our electricity last night, thanks to another storm of Biblical proportion. It was kinda nice — candlelight, no distractions like the computer or the phone (ahh, the joy of cordless phones). It wasn’t kinda nice at 2:00am though when the nice cool breeze stopped and there was no fan to stir the air. […]

The Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles rules for registering a moped. I’ve been trying to find a decent used moped to get back and forth to work when it’s wicked hot and I don’t want to ride my bike. Thanks to EBay I found a nice one in Slippery Rock PA, and the owner was […]

I wouldn’t use a strong word like hate for these things, but just a little overview of some things that perturbed me this weekend: 1. Our neighbors. They had a cookout at 11:30pm on Saturday night. With their very young children. What?!? 2. The PA fireworks laws. Why do these laws exist if they aren’t […]
