Feeling Like a Butt
Have you ever had a day when you just felt like a butt? Maybe you said something completely stupid, which made you worry about whether or not people thought you were a racist. Were you a little too mean? Your tongue too sharp? Or maybe you cut somebody off in traffic. Perhaps you took the last […]
One More Sleep ‘Til BlogCon!
This morning when I woke up, I smiled. Because NEPA BlogCon was only a day away. If you’ve kept up with me, you know that I co-organize this regional blogging and social media conference with some amazing people. I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am for the support we get from […]
What Washed Windows Can Do
Window washers were outside the Steamtown Mall several times over the past week, and with each swipe of their sponges, I saw a little bit more hope from the place.

And damn, was it a great weekend. The festival ran from June 2 through June 6 at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. It’s located […]
