finish the deal

its game day, and i know it is hard to name this post 'finish the deal' when its only week two, but i'm not talking about finishing the season (i'm under no delusions about the steelers. they beat the texans in game 1. there are alot of games to go). however, after the beating that ohio state took from usc last night, i'm hoping that the steelers can finish the deal and leave the whole state of ohio with an erie feeling of being completely dominated (i know i spelled erie wrong, people. c'mon, give me some credit).

the steelers need to go out to cleveland and make a statement about the force that they intend to be in the afc this year, especially with the recent problems in san diego and new england. also, with the touch schedule the steelers have, divisional games are pretty much must-wins. so we need to beat the cleveland clowns tonight. go stillers!!!

ps. i know i misspelled steelers. its a pittsburgh thing. if you don't know, now you know.

GO STILLERS! CRUSH THE CLOWNS!

However, I do not stand in a united front with you about THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY'S beating last night. I had a very unhappy husband.

Greetings from Erie PA. I don't think Pittsburgh came in and quite made the statement you were looking for. I don't think a 10-6 victory was what you were looking for. Although it was a victory, I think their is a big difference between the NFC and AFC this year.

oh yes. it was a perfect ending, dan. i wasn't looking for any statement whatsoever. just a 'w.' and that's what we got. i knew that the browns got better over the off season, and i know that they have been the trendy pick to win the division, and so i wasn't looking to go into cleveland and win big or easy. just win. and that's what we did. the game was dictated, at least in part, by the elements, and the steelers managed it well. it really came down to some poor decision making by the browns coaches, and the inability to run the ball. listen, would i love the steelers to win 45-0 every week? you bet! yoi! but that isn't going to happen, so i will take wins however they come, especially over division rivals.

and christina, tell your unhappy husband that college football is not a level playing field, and while the corn nuts (buckeyes?) are good, they are not in the same league as the SEC and other teams like USC. sorry.

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day. 

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus

the crucifixion of Robert Lewis

  "the crucifixion of Robert Lewis" mixed media collage with leaves, acrylic paint, and found objects by gregory a milinovich october 2023 this october i was invited to participate in a three day trip which was called a "pilgrimage of pain and hope."  while that may not sound super exciting to many of you, it actually really intrigued me.  i am the kind of person that wants to feel big feelings, and i am drawn to the deep places, so  i was interested in traveling to the scranton area, where the trip was planned, to see what it might look like to be a pilgrim that was wide-eyed and listening to the pain and the hope in the stories of others.   this trip included hearing the stories of immigrants to the northeastern pennsylvania area, and the work in the coal mines that many of them did.  it included hearing from folks who are working for housing justice and equity in downtown scranton.  it included hearing from those indigenous people who first inhabited that land.
