I’ve written about this particular item – voice – before here. I am not talking about my physical voice. I can currently scream as loud as I wish. I’m talking about my writing voice. I have a list of potential blog topics. I just have no idea if I should or could write these posts.… Continue reading Voice
I am again going to attempt the Runner’s World Run Streak. This particular summer version goes from Memorial Day – the celebrated date so this year, May 27 – until July 4th. For those of you who follow my blog, you’ll know I tried the summer streak last year. Problem is I ended up… Continue reading #RWRunStreak – Summer Version

I love the City of Pittsburgh. I still get twinges of Pitt hate as I am, and always will be, a Mountaineer but now that neither… Continue reading Traveling Again
I make annual goals so like to check in at the end of each month. April seemed to buzz by rather quickly.

I am not complaining.… Continue reading April in Review
