The Cure is my favorite band of all time. I'm showing my age, but the first time I saw The Cure was 1989 at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. I've seen them play live on every US tour since then. They rarely play in Pittsburgh, but last night I was able to see the show at Blossom in Ohio near Cleveland. As usual, they were...

After just 10 days in our home, the new kitten is settling in and getting comfortable. She's also growing quickly with a regular diet and lots of treats. Thanks for all your name suggestions, but sorry we didn't pick any of them! As a family, we landed on the name "Moira". Isn't she adorable?

We've had cats in the past, but not for a while. Our "pack" of dogs has dwindled down to just one, and he seems lonely. Tonight, we decided to adopt this lovely girl to keep him company. She's only 5 months old, but such a sweetheart. One of the chillest cats I've ever met. Any suggestions on a name?

It's not my first motorcycle, but it's my first Harley Davidson. I just bought this 2007 Sportster 1200 Custom. The weather is still crappy here (cold and snowy), but I can't wait till it gets nice and I can ride it!

I let my SG account expire a few months ago. I guess I just couldn’t stay away. I’ve been on SG since close to the beginning!

Anyway, in my time away, I made the decision to get healthy. Taking care of my shoulder injury made me realize I need to take better care on my body. So, I adopted a healthier diet, and started going...

So I'm now three weeks removed from a mountain bike crash which caused an AC joint separation in my shoulder. They rate them on a scale of 1-6, and mine was a grade 5. I was told that most sports separations are typically 1-3, but mine was bad enough that it required surgery to repair.

Two weeks ago, the surgery was done. There was about...

Years ago, I took a stab at learning guitar. I didn't stick to it long enough to get any good. All the while I always wanted to buy a Seagull S6 guitar, but back then, I really couldn't ever afford one. For the past few years, I've been teaching myself how to play ukulele, and getting back to the guitar again seemed like a natural...

Watching my favorite band of all time perform live this morning. This is such a beautiful and emotional album. I've been sobbing in my coffee all morning!

This is one of my three dogs, Carlos. He's a Pug/Chihuahua mix. I took this picture after picking him up at the vet. He had some dental work including having two teeth removed. The poor guys was still feeling the affects of anesthesia! Today, he's feeling much better and back to normal.

It was a beautiful day here in Pittsburgh yesterday. Everything is in bloom, and the trails are in great shape (as long as it doesn't rain). I had a busy day off, but was able to squeeze in a nice afternoon ride.

Last year, my wife and I bought a trailer in a campground as a getaway. It doesn't look like the kind you tow, but more of a semi-permanent small house. It brought us a lot of good times last summer and fall, but sadly, the campground closes seasonally. We had to winterize it and say goodbye in October. This past Easter weekend, however, the campground
