That’s Church – Pitt Girl if you missed her

Capture from That’s Church … click it to go there.

Well, we’re a bit late on giving a shout out to Pitt Girl’s (Virginia Montanez) new site. Hopefully you’ve already found it, but if you have not, or are new to Pittsburgh – click on the picture above.

It’s great that Pitt Girl is “out” …. not in the way you think, but the fact that she no longer has the need to hide behind an identity. This gives both men and women the inspiration to do what they love – without fear (heavy kudos to Pitt Girl for this). That is what this country and city are supposed to be about.

Although SWB has created an identity, it was never to “hide” but to facilitate the possibility of multiple authors at some point. If you look around enough, you can easily identify me by looking at that other sites on my blog.

We’ve been a little slow lately (we’ll get back at some point) due to job searching, being buried under the wires of a sound systems we maintain for a church (yep, we go to church … scared now?), and of course being at Tusca every Friday night (we’re your friendly neighborhood DJ … and, no, I don’t DJ contemporary Christian music at Tusca).

So please keep on checking out thatschurch.com and us and keep giving people reasons to do what they love … not just what generates $$$$$.

PS – Do what you love … even if it’s just venting.

That’s Church is the first recommended Pittsburgh read to be listed under SWB Recommends!

SWB Off Hiatus, PittGirl is Back, and all is well in the city ..

We’re back from an unintended hiatus, which included jobs loss, combating flooding from the last potential downpour, and keeping the newest tad-frog alive.

Hopefully that won’t happen again …. the flooding, at least.

Well, if you haven’t heard, The Burgh Blog in some way has been revived via Pittsburgh Magazine.  PittGirl is back. It’s nice to see an established publication like Pittsburgh Magazine acknowledge where the city’s readership is at, along with adding an educational writer to the mix.  Now, if they can just become desperate enough to notice me ……

Anyway, congrats to PittGirl, glad to see you in a new home.

This brings us back to all being well in the city.  The Steelers have the Super Bowl, the Pens brought the cup back home, and the Pirates ….. ok, well let’s skip the negative.

Even with the economy the way it has been, Pittsburgh is already starting it’s recovery without hitting rock bottom like so many other cities.  We can still see a light at the end of the tunnel – although everyone still slows to a crawl before entering (some things are just the way they are even during a bad economy).

PS – River rats never leave … we just hunker down a bit.
