Recovering ex-journalist in Pittsburgh. Jam bands, craft beer, chili dogs and college football. Disappointingly shallow. Do you have any pickles?
I'm not sure what it is about me and jumping into uncomfortably chilly water, but I'm doing it again, this time to raise money for Special Olympics PA. Got a few bucks to chip in? I'd be grateful.

Listening to ACC officials discuss replays with the conference control room is one of the best things to happen to #collegefootball in a long time. Pay attention, other conferences.

There are many, many college football questions (how to smoke a pork shoulder is not among them). This week, as conference play really gets going, we may start getting some answers. #CnCShow @carlaswankfox.bsky.social @ajkuftic.xyz podcasts.apple.com/us/po…

My second order of cheese curds this week, and THESE — at The Old Fashioned — are the leaders coming around the turn. Breading is light but still favorable and the curds have a little pop. Sofa king good. Had an excellent brat, too.

It is OUTRAGEOUS that my friends and former colleagues in the @pghguild.com have been fighting simply for fairness in the workplace for 1,000 days. They get by with financial help from supporters. Can you spare a few bucks to help?
This week marked 1,000(!) days on strike. It shouldn't take this long to stop the @post-gazette.com from mocking labor law and the courts. But as Ed Blazina puts it:
"We get through with the kindness of strangers."
Can that include you today?
