I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. I learned how to ride a bike in the lower left area of the map below, and I logged hundreds of miles each summer in the area toward the upper right, after we moved when I was about ten...

Doing the Right Thing – #WATWB

There is a lot of good news being brought to our attention from all over the world, as the pandemic continues to challenge medical and political professionals. We read about heroes almost every day.

The next day, the players on the team that I follow, The Pittsburgh Penguins, agreed collectively to provide the people who work at PPG Paints Arena, the salaries they would have earned in the five remaining home games....

Tools for the Journey – #WATWB

Several years ago, while riding my bike on the ring road behind the airport. I suffered a blowout of my front tire. At the time, I was passing the New England Air Museum. The noise of the tire’s tube exploding was so loud, one of the museum staff drove over to me in a golf... Continue Reading →

For the Love of Bees – #WATWB

When I saw the article I am sharing today, I thought it was going to be about bees, and the problems facing bees – AND, I thought I knew something about this problem.

The Power of Beer – #WATWB

If you follow my Saturday series, you may have heard me mention Corona Beer. I have come to prefer Corona over other lagers, and now I have a new reason to support the brand – the Corona “Losing Blue” can. Corona is brewed in and imported from Mexico.
