My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. Better safe than sorry. Rainfall would total nearly 5in. before it was all over. Scariest of all, the Governor made an announcement that the entire state should prepare to loose their electricity service and be without power for several days. By morning, the wind advisory that was to have lasted until 5pm Tuesday, was canceled. Brian and Marieke left for work a bit later than normal. And all was well. It's great to have been ove...

My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. Poor Oskar has almost no hair left on his belly and can not seem to stop scratching. He is the easiest to treat because his fur is so coarse and not at all dense. When he started scratching, we knew we had a problem- he is always the last to get them. Posted by "The Author".

My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. Memorial Day cookout extravaganza. Just before we came inside for dinner, there was a National Geographic moment brought to us by the lovely orange cat that gave me my wounds. And his grey long-haired mistress. In the middle of the street. No doubt, breeding more kittens to become territorial over. The day before, we were invited to our across the street neighbor’s house for a cookout and live music. It’s always ...No sooner did...

My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. Additionally, the text of the SOTU was leaked a full two hours before the President began speaking. This was also unprecedented. Accordingly, Ezra Klein crafted a word cloud based on the text of the SOTU:. Luke Russert tweeted a picture. Of the gauntlet of press that members of congress would be facing upon their exit:. David Weigel posted some of the bi-partisan seating arrangements in the joint session:. I was crushed (still a...

My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. In honor of the halfway mark and completing my 9th term at school, we took a day-trip to Erie, PA on Friday. Two videos, a number of panorama stitches and about a hundred or so pictures later, almost the entire trip is documented. This habit of mine is usually not well tolerated by Marieke, but she didn’t seem to mind during this trip. Bicycle built for two. This was a good day and well deserved for both of us.

My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. Two days after Autumn had her tick, Oskar comes in with a tick on his head. I could see it this time and it was so disgusting. I thought I might loose my dinner. Marieke again took him to the third floor bathroom for a successful extraction. To review: 38 years. No ticks ever. Terrified to take these dogs for a walk. Posted by "The Author". Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts ( Atom ).

My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. Cirque du Soleil. The words conjure an endless cacophony of wonderful nonsense. Their latest offering, Totem, is nothing less than a masterpiece. I’ll admit to being completely and utterly awestruck by the acrobatic stunts, the brilliant acts of balance, the costume, the characters, the creatures, the sets… everything. At the risk of endlessly describing every bit of the show, I’ll just say that at my age, it is a rare tre...

My little corner of the world and other small aspects of life in Pittsburgh. Thursday was stamppot day. Kara, Jen and my mom were invited, but mom had to cancel because of her back.
