Monday Business

These Pen are unbelievable, and though many want to play Dallas for the home ice advantage, I would much prefer the Red Wings. 1) Cause I think they are a better team than Dallas, and 2) They call Detroit 'hockeytown' and it would be fun see the Pens roll all over 'hockeytown', and 3) if Dallas wins, I feel trouble coming cause I work at a radio station called 'Star' and if we play the Dallas Stars....hmmm, I think you get the drift.



Booked a fishing trip up on Lake Erie this weekend with my Dad and brother, totally hyped on the whole thing. I'm not really a fisherman, but for a day I can buy in. It's a charter with a real boat captain and crew for the day. Captain says we're gonna catch alot of 'walleye'. Can't wait!


Took my first of a few golf weekends this past weekends. Sometimes the games just too hard to play (or my way of making an excuse as to why I didn't win the tournament). In short, sometime I just SUCK, and though my partner and I were in first place on Saturday, by the time the sun went down on Sunday we were no longer.

Just Checking In....


Usually on the weekends I play golf..and since I get up so early during the week, it's easy for me to be up at dawn and on my way to the golf course when the sun comes up. I use the term 'sun' loosely as we do live in Pittsburgh, so what I'm refering to might actually happen twice a month :) My point here is early morning might be my favorite time of the day. I often think what early settlers must have throught when they first came through here. They lived on the East coast, and had little if any experience with mountains. I can't help but think when I drive up Rt 60, or south to the Yaugh, and see some of the spectacular sights surrounding the mountains and rivers, it MUST have taken their breath away. I know it does me many weekend mornings as the mist rises from the valleys, and the first glimpse of the sun hits. What a time of day!!!

This is for my golfing buddies. Yes, I'm baiting them, BRING SOME CASH THIS WEEKEND, CAUSE MY GAME IS ON!!!!

Pens will WIN this Philly series in 5. Bring on those Red Wings!

Pens and OTHER Stuff


Why are the Stanley Cup Playoffs BETTER than the NFL Playoffs?

Cause they happen during the week AND on the weekends. It's like they are spreading the love. Err Pens will beat the Flyers in 5!!

and...........the following is a HUGE bitch, who decides where and when road construction will take place?

I know you guys who live off Rt. 28 have done something to someone, somewhere to deserve the mistreatment PennDot (or whoever)gives you. You had to have done something in a past life to deserve the traffic treatment you get on a daily basis. BUT NOW the pain goes crosstown to Rt. 88, and from what I can gather, if you live near or have to travel Rt. 88, you might want to relocate to Wheeling for the foreseeable future. I've looked around to see if I can understand where you can go on Rt. 88, but, everytime I get so confused, I'm ready to drive Rt. 51 everyday, cause at least that way I won't get ......errr LOST! Can't we do something about this?
