It almost seems like it was all a dream. Like I just woke up from a 3 year dream in which I lived in Texas to find myself driving through the Fort Pitt Tunnel in a thunderstorm. So much more is the same than is different, most of all how I feel. It’s as if [...]

The final countdown

Tomorrow I leave Austin, TX, forever.
Things that I will miss: Nephew and his parents, PF’s, Tex-Mex food.
Things that I will not miss: Everything else.
Like a virgin

Last night I arrived in Pittsburgh for a long-overdue visit with Mr. TR, and today I had the disconcerting experience of being treated like a tourist.
First, Mr. TR and I went by the insurance office to finalize our homeowners’ policy for the house we’ll be closing on next month. I had commented myself when we [...]
So, what’s up with you?

So.
I hope you’re doing well.
Mr. TR drove away today with our pets and all our stuff. Goodbye pets. Goodbye stuff. Goodbye husband.
Hello rented room.
And I thought I was ready to get back to Pittsburgh before? That was nothin’.
Travelogue: Peace, love, and a little dirty trick

Good morning Pittsburgh. Time to find out if I can still be funny and interesting while I’m here.
I woke up before my alarm yesterday, which was set for 3:30 CST. Threw on a sweater (yes!) and waited for Mrs. PF to pick me up at 4:00. I owe her a kidney. She played The Clarks [...]
Internetting

On Facebook now.
All from the pent-up energy of wanting to get back to the ‘Burgh.
I’m going to be so boring once I’m happily at home.
Superstitious

So, I have to work today. So, here I am. Working so hard.
Also, why are sports fans so superstitious? And by that I mean, why am I so superstitious? It took me twice as long to get ready for work today, even though I dressed in jeans and a Steelers t-shirt because everything was a [...]
Pittsburgh Playlist

Something about me: I am a very auditory person. I read out loud to myself. I remember what I’m told without taking notes. And I surround myself with as much music as possible, including my relatively constant internal soundtrack. The movie of my life is mostly boring, but that doesn’t stop me from scoring it [...]
Returned to sender

For some reason, this weekend I picked up a lot of static about Pittsburgh. It had nothing to do with football, either – I get a lot of Steeler hatin’ around here, and that I can brush off with a little trash talk. I minored in trash talk in college.
No, this was hatin’ on Pittsburgh [...]
Introducing, Part II: The Return

When I starting writing this diary of surviving away from Pittsburgh, I’m not sure what I expected of it. I am pretty sure I didn’t think that anyone would read it, but then again, why put it out on the internet if I didn’t hope that someone would get something out of it? Now, at [...]
