Last one for a while, I promise. I’m at Draft Day Suit again today, with a video of Oliver’s visit to CONSOL Energy Center, new home of the Pittsburgh Penguins. My skills as a video editor are clearly not my fortune but the kid is damn cute.

World Cup: USA won. England won. USA won the group (first time ever). Woo. Still living in a house divided. This won’t end well.
Tennis: Go see what’s happening at Wimbledon over at Draft Day Suit.
Earthquake: It was in Canada, but felt in Pittsburgh.
Pirates: I had even more to say over at Draft Day Suit. I [...]

Today’s adventure was a quick visit to the Professional Football Hall of Fame. It was (sort of) on the way home and we’d picked up passes in the last school fundraiser. Oliver has declared it boring and never wants to go back. I’m going to chalk that up to not enough sleep last night.

Oliver has been making up some pretty fantastic stories of late. Over the weekend he concocted an entire soccer league and was able to tell me which teams played and who won, all out of his (over-active) imagination.

Oliver likes school. That may be the understatement of the year. When I picked him up from that first day I asked him if he liked it and if he wanted to go back the next day. “I want to go back EVERY day,” was his reply. And he’s been unwavering in that sentiment. My [...]

One of the many things I love about Oliver’s school is how the older kids treat the younger ones. Since everyone changes classes, even the PKs, they are out and about in the school. It’s a small place (600 or so students in PK – 12) so they get to know each other quickly, [...]

Do I have any readers in Houston? I need a favor. Kind of a big one, I know, but I have to ask anyway.
Could you go root for the Pittsburgh Angels Rugby Football Club in the Women’s Div II national championship on Saturday at the University of Houston? 12:15pm is their first match. I’ll also [...]

I renewed my strange and wonderful relationship with rugby yesterday, as Eleanor and I caught the second half of the Pittsburgh Angels’ decimation of their opponent in the Midwest Division II tournament. We had to cross two of Pittsburgh’s three rivers to get there, multiple times even, but get there we did. Founder’s Field is [...]

Readers who have been around two years or more know that I usuallyblog about the Tour de France in July. It looks like I skipped the blogging part of the Tour last year, probably due to going back to work and such. I was watching, honest. I was recently asked to contribute to a sports [...]
