steelers go down to georgia, move to 9-5


it was a bit of a nail-biter, but the steelers went down to georgia and got out with not only with a win, but with a winning record.  most importantly, they got themselves one step closer to a playoff berth, which they could lock up with a win against the chiefs next week.  if that happens, it would set up a week-17 matchup against the bengals that would decide the winner of the afc north.

but i'm getting ahead of myself.




first, let us say thank you to big play willie gay, who returned an interception for his third pick-six of the season.  that's the same willie gay that used to be everyone's whipping boy in the steelers secondary.  he's now your number one corner, whether ike is playing or not.  and that particular pick six yesterday was critical.  the steelers were showing both an ability to move the ball against the falcons defense, and to then trip over their own feet in the red zone.  the first quarter was all steelers, but they only had two field goals to show for it.

then big play willie gay sniffs out the matt ryan pass and takes it to the house, changing the course of that game.


of course the killer b's showed up, too.  ben set records.  bell set records.  brown set records.  we were hoping that heath has a middle name that starts with a b, but unfortunately he doesn't (heath IS his middle name - his first name is earl).  still, a great game by heath when the steelers just couldn't get the running game going.  and when the steelers needed to finish the game by owning the clock, they did what they had to do, and gave themselves their first winning record in three years.


now onto the chiefs.  here we go, steelers!

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.
