Quick post.
It takes 20 minutes to walk briskly from the intersection of the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette at 34 Blvd. of the Allies and Commonwealth Blvd. east on Fort Pitt Boulevard then south on the Smithfield Street bridge to the Station Square cheapie parking lot.
I did the walk this evening after work and the northwest breeze from the Ohio River was a tad chilly.
Station Square has some of my favorite pieces of salvaged Pittsburgh art. Including the piece pictured with this post.

Shake Up at La VieC!
I’m sitting in my living room, thunder rolling outside in a very rainy dusk. Power is out, but the laptop has a full battery. Still daylight-ish, and I am wishing it was a Saturday or Sunday morning (as it was not when this was written) so I could be snuggling under the bedcovers and drowsing to the symphony of thunder and rain. Another wish: I wish I had another good day for every day that I wished time away.
(Warning! Another paragraph beginning with “I” to follow.)
I have been mentally constructing a new direction for this blog. I do fairly well, usually, writing off the cuff, but off the cuff has no structure. So, new direction means “topics,” as the Mackenzie Brothers of Second City TV called them. Structure means schedule and so I will address each of these topics in a Sunday and Wednesday posting schedule. Posting every day, I have come to realize is unrealistic and exhausting.
This list will be edited down for expediency, but as of now, here are the subjects I want to cover:
*Art and Design
*Birds and Dogs (birds, with help from family, dogs, mostly mine)
*Family and Girlfriends.
*Pittsburgh (My Mom was born here!)
And the occasional piece of whimsy, craziness and/or sarcastic humor. That last will be a challenge. I (think I) have become a more compassionate/less critical person thanks to therapy but I hope I have not lost my very precious prickliness (VPP).
Shall I call it Katy And? No, there will be no voting on the name. None of this community crap. I will decide, you will read.
Love and air kisses.
Kate
