strictly roots.
So for years I’ve been seeking out the perfect travel mug: one that would seal tightly and not spill out of the lid if it were to be held on its side, and that has a handle that allows it to hook onto something (say, the strap of a bag) and not fall off. It’s [...]

I’m not going to go defending the IQ of the average Steelers fan in most instances, but not as high as the average Browns player? COME ON!
So welcome back to my life, internet people. Christmas was a good time. Among the important developments is the fact that the Pammer bestowed upon me a camera, for which you are all likely thankful, since it means I won’t be bellyaching about not having a camera anymore. I got a flickr like all the [...]
WHAT’S UP.
I’m pretty much done with Christmas gifts. That will end tonight. They’re almost all wrapped. I made lemon-ricotta cookies yesterday; I should ice them tonight. Stockings are hung by the chimbly with care, roast beast is in the oven, crumbs much too small for the other Whos’ mouses, etc. etc.
In the course of getting [...]
Sometimes when I have the opportunity I write things on that other blog, the one that’s linked to in my sidebar. I think my post from yesterday was somewhat interesting, so check it out if you want. It starts out with a kind of funny story from Seed and ends in me talking about Paul [...]
What’s up. I am on a roll right now. I am killin’ it. My afternoon bus came at the right time yesterday, for the first time in probably two months. My freelance check (it’s a double since I accidentally forgot to invoice for one of my columns a few months ago) came yesterday. It’s payday. [...]
The article had potential for hilarity due simply because of its content — it’s about the suggestions received in a contest to name the new school district formed by the merger of Center and Monaca, in Beaver County. The list itself is pretty great — I mean, who wouldn’t want to go to a school [...]
Here’s the mix I made for the party last weekend. It ended up being a mix of what I consider to be devotional songs — from the obvious (Staple Singers) to the more metaphorical (Baby Dee) and songs about going places and being home. So I titled it Devotional/Locational. It’s a 90-minute tape, because I [...]
Last night was the Torley mixtape potluck. I made a pretty good tape, then forgot to make pretty good packaging, then forgot to bring it with me to the party and had to drive back home (I got as far as East Liberty before I realized it) and get it. I would post a track [...]
I forgot to note, a few weeks ago I was in the huge Giant Eagle in Monroeville and as I was leaving my ears perked up, as I felt I recognized the tune that was playing quietly above the din in the store. I concentrated for a moment, and I was sure I knew it, [...]
