– I’ve been wondering about that quite often as of late. There have been more than a fair share of deaths around me and they have started me thinking about it more than usual.– I’ve been wondering about that quite often as of late. There have been... more

Yeah, that time of the year again. I always have very mixed feelings about hunting.

By Sherry Pasquarello,WWH – (Pittsburgh in the 60′s) Everyone has their own ideas of what beauty is. Just go to a museum or art show with a group of 5 and every one of them will have their own favorites. There will be a few art pieces everyone can agree is an example of it too, but most have specific tastes. These tastes may have changed over the years or stayed the same for decades.By Sherry Pasquarello,WWH – (Pittsburgh in the 60′s) Everyone has their... more

By Sherry Pasquarello,WWH - Pittsburgh in the 60’s -I’m writing this on Wed. morning so I don’t know if there will be some sort of last minute miracle for Troy Davis down in Georgia. I’m not a lawyer. I would never claim to know the ins and outs of how the system works. I do know that like anything else that we do, sometimes we get it wrong. I think we got it wrong in this case. What I do know is this, dead is DEAD.There’s no way an oopsie can do anything once someone has breathed their last.By Sherry Pasquarello,WWH - Pittsburgh in the 60’s -I’m writing this on... more

I’ll start off by saying that I am not a confrontational sort. I’ve good reasons why I grew up that way as well as that what I am very good at is observation and facing facts. Both of those came from childhood as well. I am quite skilled in gaging people though I have been fooled maybe a half dozen or so times in my life. I paid heavily for it too.I’ll start off by saying that I am not a confrontational sort. I’ve good... more

Pittsburgh in the 60s – Is there one of those “idiot” manuals out there that I haven’t seen in my local book shop? If there is, could someone please send me a copy? WTF?

I decided to look up the definition first before I wrote a word on the subject. On Wikipedia, I actually found 4 pages on the subject. Seems they had as many different categories as I did, perhaps more. You can and should look it up for yourselves. It’s an interesting read. I’m writing my own views on the matter. I am certain you’ve got your own. Maybe we can all learn something new.I decided to look up the definition first before I wrote a word on the subject. On... more

When I was a kid someone bought me a mosaic picture kit. It was a red barn scene. I can remember sorting the little ceramic shapes and placing them on the picture board and then grouting the pieces in place with grey goopy stuff. My grandparents framed it and hung it on a wall. It was there for years.When I was a kid someone bought me a mosaic picture kit. It was a red barn scene. I... more

Yeah, it’s a full blown circus now. Complete with a pie in the face from some clown. I’m just worried about what might be going down in the other two rings of this three ring traveling freak show while our attention is focused on the ringmaster. I know damn well that while the spotlight is on the guy with the fancy coat and whip there are acts going on in the shadows.Yeah, it’s a full blown circus now.

I’m sure you’ve heard of people changing the facts on Wikipedia to suit their causes. The latest- making a new “founding father” so that Michelle B. looks like a Rhodes Scholar instead of a woman without a clue that plays fast and loose with our country’s history.I’m sure you’ve heard of people changing the facts on Wikipedia to suit... more
