Linda G. Hill is plastering two prompts with the same stone today. In addition to the regular Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, she’s taking aim at Just-Jot-January, as well. Which leaves us with: “Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘sap/sep/sip/sop/sup.’ Use one or all of these words or find a word... Continue Reading →
Today’s one liners both have a “Best Read By” date of 12/5/2018. One because the story ties in with Monday’s post and one because we’re coming to the end of college football season. Since I know some of you are not sports fans, I’ll keep the latter one short. Yes, I understand that the whole... Continue Reading →
It’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday, so it’s time to take Linda’s prompt and head to the bar. Linda sets the stage for this week’s conversation by giving us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘flower/flour.’ Use one, use both, it’s totally up to you.

Yesterday, I wore my Pittsburgh Pirates hoodie while talking Maddie for her morning walk. That was partly due to the fact that she wanted to walk early, but partly because the temperature was 52°f (11°c) – 52! We haven’t seen the low 50s since…I don’t remember.

For those one-liner purists, i.e. the folks who think I’ve already written too many words before getting to the one-liner, here you go: "Hey – don’t pick on the laundry lady!" See? It doesn’t make much sense without a little back story. The back story involves football. I know, I know, a lot of you... Continue Reading →
Late last year, I featured The Cathedral of Learning, on the University of Pittsburgh’s campus, in a couple of posts, including a Thursday Doors post. I mentioned that one of the signature elements of the Cathedral of Learning is a group of Nationality Rooms that have been built on the first and third floors around... Continue Reading →
For the benefit of anyone who forgot Monday’s post and those who didn’t read it, The Cathedral of Learning is the signature educational building on the University of Pittsburgh campus. I’m going to abbreviate the university down to Pitt and I’m going to refer to Cathy, as the Cathedral was affectionately known. If you were... Continue Reading →
Long before I heard of Thursday Doors, I wanted to do a post about this magnificent building. Then, I felt a strong urge to include the Cathedral in a few Thursday Doors posts. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the right photos for either post, so I kept putting it off until the next trip to Pittsburgh.... Continue Reading →
“You’re late again. I ordered my wine and I told Cheryl to put it on your tab.” “Well, how nice of me to buy.” “I’m sorry. I spent Thursday with a tough crowd. I needed something to be thankful for.” “I see. Nothing like being home for the holidays. Enjoy the wine. I suggest we... Continue Reading →
