unbearable/uncorked



it's pretty much unbearable for me to post this picture on my blog, but i feel like i have to.  yes, the bungles beat the steelers yesterday in another game that the steelers had a nice lead and then decided to lay a big turd on.  blech.  i hope the steelers wake up.  it seems as if they're good enough to be winning these games (although the defense looked pretty week yesterday), but just don't have what's needed to finish.  what is missing?  fire?  skill?  fundamentals?  coaching?  execution?  speed?  i don't have the answer.  but i hope that the steelers are putting pictures like this all over the locker room to inspire them to work harder so it doesn't happen again. 

my steelers haven't lost two games in a row in quite some time, so it gives me an opportunity to reflect on the fact that i am no fair-weather fan.  no bandwagon jumping here.  i love the pittsburgh steelers, as you know by now, and i will be continue to be a fanatic about them regardless of the results of these games. 

that being said, if you were to visit the steelers blogs that i frequent, you would decide that chicken little is most definately a steelers fan.  "the sky is falling!" is the general refrain all across steeler nation this morning, but i just want to say that the sky has not fallen, nor will it be falling any time soon.  the steelers lost two games that they should have won (sorry, vollers).  does it mean that they stink?  nope.  does it mean that the season is over?  nope.  it simply means that they are 1-2 and have their work cut out for them, particularly with san diego looming on the horizon. 

on a brighter note, the yankees are back in the playoffs after a year off, and, in fact, clinched their division by sweeping their arch-rivals, the boston red sox this weekend.  so we will end with a picture of that, just to try and get the week off to a better start.

Well Greg It was a long time coming but it was bound to happen! The way you felt when your team was playing good during the first half, and the way they finished, like a different team, just blows you away. This is how I've felt for years. I was proud to see the Bengals(you had a typo, you wrote Bungals) beat the Stallers, or is it Stinkers.... either way...it's black and orange in the jungle!!

i hear ya, bro. and i humbly take my lumps. steelers lost. bungles won. blah blah blah. i'm happy for you and all the miserable bungle fans, but i am confident it will be a different story when they come visit us in the burgh. looks the division could be pretty dang good this year.

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.
