Hitting the Links – On Vacation! March 27, 2007

Just wanted to drop everyone a note and let you know I’m going to down Myrtle Beach with the guys for a little R&R ( for those of you who know, that means golf ). I will not be blogging until next Monday.
I did want to let you know that I appreciate everyone who has [...]

One Action-Packed Weekend March 26, 2007

Working mornings has made me appreciate one thing – the value of your time off. Usually, I leave work Fridays after 1pm and return Monday morning at 3:30am. Assuming I hit the pillow at 6pm on Sunday, that’s less about 53 hours of weekend time .. and there’s so much to do over the course [...]

Ready for the Boom Town? March 23, 2007

Seems every time I open the local newspaper, it seems a new downtown housing project is in the works. Whether it be a high-rise condo, renovated building turned into apartments — or this new concept living space on Forbes Avenue known as the “Gardens” – Pittsburgh is in the midst of its biggest construction boom [...]

Spending Some Time with the Future March 16, 2007

While there have been no formal complaints, I know the down side of my blog is that I don’t use enough pictures. I guess this is because I never seem to have my camera around to capture those “Kodak moments” or whatever they call them now. Well, let’s try and remedy that. It’s Friday photo [...]

The Deal is Done March 14, 2007

I’m going out to play Powerball this weekend .. and I’m going to win!
After all, I’m rolling right now. Months ago, I wrote in my blog Mike Tomlin would be the Steelers next head coach – and he got the job. I’ve been telling people for weeks – at least those who have asked me [...]

Goodbye Coach Garry March 12, 2007

I think there is no American institution that shows what this country is all about quite like the small town funeral. When someone in a small community passes, the funeral home becomes more than a place where a memorial service takes place. It becomes a meeting place, a place to share memories and a place [...]

What Makes a Good Anchor? March 9, 2007

A recent visit with journalism students at Peters Township High School included a question from one you woman that got me thinking. She asked me a relatively simple question – what makes a good TV news anchor? The smart-aleck in me wanted to respond “please ask someone who is actually good at anchoring”.

While it appears [...]

Back on campus March 5, 2007

If you have ever read my bio, than you know I went to college at Ohio University ( that’s not the Ohio State University, this is OU located in the southeastern corner of the state ). I spent my college years ( 1986-89 ) in the town of Athens located on the Hocking River. It’s [...]

iPod .. Therefore, I am March 1, 2007

Quick.

What’s the one piece of modern technology that you have that you could not live without?

I know most of you – men or women, boy or girl, child or adult – will say the cell phone. Makes sense. After all, we are now never out of touch and can instantly reach anyone at anytime. Of [...]
