Happy Halloween!
I remember as a kid this was one of my favorite holidays – and not because of the candy. It was nice coming home with a stash of sweets that would last for a month, but the best part was dressing up. Back then ( and I’m talking about the 1970’s ) more kids [...]
It’s probably not at the top of your “what if” list, but what if downtown Pittsburgh was the victim of massive flooding, a severe power outage or — God forbid – a terrorist attack? It’s not something any of us want to think about – but there are a group of people who prepare for [...]
Sunday’s dip in temperature and the howling winds that sent a chill through the air was the only hint I needed that summer was over. Not that summer which ends sometime in September, but rather the summer my guy friends refer to as “the Summer of Golf”.
As you well know, golf is among my passions [...]
Folks, I’m going to be honest. I am tired. After two straight days of getting to be after 10pm and waking up at 2am, I have absolutely no energy. Even worse, I have no creativity. Can you believe it? It took 200 posts, but I have no idea what to write about.
But fear not faithful [...]
If there was any doubt that mine is no longer the youngest generation, I had to look no further than our newsroom and my assignment for Wednesday.
As part of my weekly “Check It Out” segment, I had an interview scheduled with the lead actor in the Heinz Hall production of “Twelve Angry Men” – Richard [...]
Really, I don’t have a jealous bone in my body. Ask Sharon. She’ll tell you that she wishes I would be jealous sometimes when others heap affection on her or tell her how pretty she looks. I wish I could, but I’m not the jealous type. Never have been.
I guess it all dates back to [...]
I always felt that the greatest thing we can do as people – TV broadcasters or otherwise – is give back to the causes we care about. Whether we donate our time or our dollars, everything we do can make a difference. With that in mind, Sharon and I decided to spend this pas Saturday [...]
I wanted to tell you about my weekend. There were so many wonderful and interesting fund-raising events to tell you about, but with a very time-sensitive subject at hand I will save the weekend recap for tomorrow.
Friday, I had a rare chance to go behind the scenes with the two men running for mayor [...]
I’m writing on Andrew’s blog because this concerns him in a way.
I was doing a news story at a high school football game on a Friday night when one person greeted me by saying “Hi, Mr. Stockey.” It surprised me a bit because Andrew is younger, taller and better looking than me. He’s also black, [...]
Help! My blog is being hijacked!
Just kidding.
Really, the cool thing about being able to blog every day is to share stories I hear from other people — like Channel 4 Action News reporter Jon Greiner. I’m going to let him take over my blog Friday and share his story while I start the weekend a [...]
While on vacation in the South Pacific for the first time, I made several observations I would like to share with you.
As you can see, we didn’t just eat healthy food and exercise during our stay in Hawaii. We also like to indulge in the local drink menu — and perhaps the tasty thing [...]
If you have been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that one of my passions in life – is golf. So how could I go to the islands and not play at least one round of golf? Sharon and I started our tour of the Hawaiian fairways when we traveled to [...]
Mahalo once again! Thanks for coming back to my blog. I know I have been gone a while, but the break was just what the doctor ordered .. and it exposed me to a brand new world: Hawaii. What I thought I would do is show you my tropical trip in three stages. Here’s part [...]
Mahalo!
In Hawaiian, it has many different meaning but foremost it means “thank you”. Thanks for being so patient while I took some time off to rest and relax and re-energize myself for the work year ahead.
Sharon and I got back late last night and I’m still on Hawaii time – some six hours ahead – [...]
You might remember a few months ago, I asked for you help. Sharon and I wanted to go on a “big” vacation. The plan was to go someplace new and different. I asked for your suggestions – and boy, did you respond. I got suggestions to go to resorts everywhere, from Idaho .. to Italy, [...]
