You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
Excuse me while I put a baseball card in my spokes. I am out of here heading to the train station.

I was more of a savory than a sweet as a kid. I rarely make PIE as an Adult.
Here are some Pies I detested as a kid.
- Meat Pi -Pennsylvania Dutch monstrosity
- Corn PI – was not edible.
- Shepherds Pi – I now like the vegan version
- Pot Pi – I wish my parents splurged for the $.39 Swanson
- Tasty cake Pi’s –  the blueberry was OK
Here are some I liked,
- Boston Crème Pi – it’s a tangent of a Pi.
- Lemon Sponge – gooey weirdness
- Pizza Pi -from Wangers Backerei in Reading
- Blueberry Pie – the best of Pi
- Shoe Fly Pi – it is made of old shoes and flies that die on a light bulb. Molasses goodness.
Shoo Fly pie is a classic Pennsylvania Dutch dessert. The pie has a cakey top and gooey bottom and is a rich and decadent pie…so be sure to bring your sweet tooth.

He passed away a week ago, and I miss him dearly. He had so much empathy and compassion, when he passed, I said I did not want the ashes,
The mailman just delivered them.
We had a nice chat.
My brain is now messed up. This sketch was from our first walk together 13 years ago.

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?
My first instinct with his question is, we cannot live without certain people in our lives or even beloved pets.
I’m going to a tough time right now as my 12-year-old border Collie recently passed away.
It was sudden, and we have to go on. We have to be free to talk about it. To be so up close and personal with death is personal.
But please don’t be afraid to talk about it, it happens to all of us.
Society and death is strange. And maybe it should be. We all know people going through a loss. You’re not gonna get it right but feel free to talk about it. It’s OK.
- Culture and Taboos:There’s a cultural tendency to avoid the topic of death, with some cultures even having strict taboos surrounding it.
- Traumatizing Loved Ones:We may worry that discussing death will upset or cause distress to our loved ones, or that we are not equipped to cope with the emotions that arise from these conversations.
- Fear of Saying the Wrong Thing:Some avoid these discussions because they are afraid of saying the “wrong” thing or inadvertently causing further pain or distress to someone.
