Go South Young Man…

If Horace Greeley would have vacationed in South Beach in 1859 instead of going to Colorado for the gold rush this may have been his most famous quote, instead we are left with… Greeley’s navigational suggestion aside, Manifest Destiny was alive and well in western Pennsylvania in the winter of 2022. Based on what I’ve…

Train like a Champion Today

November in Pittsburgh means one thing.  Winter is coming.  And thus ends another season of outdoor cycling, especially for those of us who are too soft to inconvenience ourselves with the cold and rain.  But I take solace in the fact that nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain.  Until then it’s time to move…

Pork Butt Throwdown

It’s time for another discussion on a life-changing topic.  Smoked Pork Butt.  The following blog post will be dedicated to me patting myself on the back for my barbequing acumen.  We all think we’re multi-starred Michelin chefs when it comes to grilling/smoking any and all types of meat so I’m not alone in my self-perceived…

Are you not entertained.

It’s come to my attention that I’ve been shirking my duties when it comes to providing regular posts to my legions of followers.  I will attempt to remedy that situation.  Unfortunately I don’t have anything particularly enlightening to offer at the moment so I will attempt to entertain you.  I’ve uploaded a few videos of…

Get to the Choppa!

Last Thursday Beth, Abbey and I had the opportunity to have quite a unique experience.  Through my wife’s efforts she was able to secure a 30 minute sight-seeing tour through Vortex Helicopter Services, located at the Finleyville airport.  The tour was a donation by Behr Construction. Our tour started with a fly-by of our home…

Phil and I go way back

On this past Sunday Phil Mickelson, at almost 51 years old, won the PGA Championship becoming the oldest golfer to ever win a major championship.  To put this in perspective, in my younger days I could hold my own with the best wheelchair marathoners in the world.  Now, at 51, I’m probably not even the…

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times

This Monday was Patriot’s Day and it should also have been the 125th running of the Boston Marathon.  However, due to the ongoing COVID issues the race has tentatively been moved back to October 11th this year.  Historically speaking, this week has been quite eventful for me over the course of my life. At 6…

Pick a Winner

After a few weeks of written blog posts I’ve decided to try to step up my game and take a run at a video blog.  You’re making history here so there’s no promises on the content or quality of this one.  We’ll just use this one to set the bar (however low that might be)…
