I Have Never Done This Before but I'm Going to Give It a Shot Today

We are all headed out this afternoon to a new restaurant where we will celebrate our daughter-in-law's 41st birthday. The restaurant that she chose to have her party at is Kodiax which by all means is not a typical restaurant. It is a hunting-themed restaurant with plenty of lodge-style ambiances...

Our Big Fur Baby Says, "Six More Weeks of Winter!"

I never doubted that there would be six more weeks of winter for a minute if one is to go by the calendar, geographic location, and Pennsylvania's history of snowfall this time of year.

This Silly Group of Men Are Loved In and Around Pittsburgh

New generations are being introduced to the antics of the three guys who made "nyuk, nyuk," a part of American comedy at a time when the world needed a bit of funny.
