Looking Back | March 2020

April Promise | 4.3.20

Weekending | 3.30.20
It was a wild weekend here in the Burgh! Crazy winds brought insane storms over the weekend, but the temps in the 70's were awesome! Steve is not working on Friday's these days as his office is closed, but the power went out so all the pc's turned off so no one could...
Friday With More Perspective
You cannot see the wood for the trees. — John Heywood This week brought increased worry for both the rapidly increasing numbers of the sick as well as all those who are caring for them. The stories don't sound like something from a first-world country, but rather they...
