A Glimpse Into the Inner Workings of the City of Pittsburgh

Jonathan loves to watch the garbage truck come down the street and pick up the trash. This morning, we spent 25 minutes standing at the window, watching the world, waiting for the truck, watching the truck, and learning new things. (More)

Reality TV

I don't know a whole lot about the whole reality TV show craze, (I actually haven't seen a single one) but since this is a blog, I feel liberated to spout my views on the subject.
There is an article in the Pittsburgh paper a couple of days ago regarding a former Pittsburgh priest, who has moved to England and is now doing a reality TV show about revitalizing an aging Anglican parish. (More)
