Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
All of my life I have been a story teller. My earliest memory involving stories is from kindergarten when I acted out the story of Abiyoyo as sung by Pete Seeger. My memory says I was a hit. As life went on I found more ways to tell stories. I went on stage for the first... Continue Reading →
This may come as a bit of surprise to some given a previous post (Reasons to Hate the Internet) but I am thankful for the Internet. The World Wide Web. This alternately profound and ridiculous virtual world where you and I reside. I am thankful for the access to massive amounts of information. Even when... Continue Reading →
A new year begins and it's time to pick up this practice again. A weekly reminder of the things for which I am thankful. The interesting thing for me is that after this week I will have covered the "easy" ones. Wife, daughter, parents, my ministry, even my hair. Easy stuff, obvious stuff. Now I'll... Continue Reading →
Oh. My. God. In my last post I noted my long standing series of travel "adventures". Well the biggest trip of my life is coming up (going to Germany) and it seems that the travel gremlins have decided to get a head start on it all. I am flying out of Pittsburgh so I need... Continue Reading →

The guy who believed. I was the guy who drove the stat geeks crazy because I believed. Like Lou Brown, the manager of the fictional Cleveland Indians in the movie "Major League", I believed that with a little luck these guys just might surprise some people. I've been a Pirates fan for almost my entire... Continue Reading →
Talking to my friend Andrew Hill who still works at my last radio station and he told me that he had come across the audio file of me saying good bye on that last day. I told him I wasn't sure that I had that clip and he graciously made me a copy. One of... Continue Reading →
So I had a little run in with some kind of plant early last week. I don't see any evidence of Poison Ivy where I was working but I ended up with this nasty rash on both wrists and a little bit on my right hand. I find I don't freak out about stuff like... Continue Reading →
It's been a busy August and I'm behind on several things. I promise some more entries soon.
