Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
This isn’t a post about sports, it just starts out that way. I am not a fan of UConn sports, but I watched the first half of their football game against University of Central Florida (UCF) Saturday night. I have to admit, I had an ulterior motive. Last week, the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), my... Continue Reading →
Once again, it’s time for Linda G. Hill’s mind-bending challenge to compose coherent text around an oddball theme in response to her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ’blue.’ Talk about the first blue object you see when you sit down to write your post. Have fun!”... Continue Reading →
This weekend saw an odd convergence of ideas in my area of space. First off, on Friday, I was talking to one of my favorite people about all things data, analytics and marketing. He gave me what I think will be my one-liner for Wednesday (unless something better comes along), and we laughed and marveled... Continue Reading →
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. Enjoy!” She’s kidding, right? If we were having... Continue Reading →
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. The calendar says summer has two more weeks, but... Continue Reading →
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 →
