Last night, the Pittsburgh Penguins “welcomed back” both Jaromir Jagr and Max Talbot. Jagr has been back several times with stints in Washington and New York. Each time he’s been welcomed back to boos every time he touched the puck. But this time was different. During the off season, it appeared that Jagr would return… [Continue Reading]
This past week, I attended the first two games held at the Pittsburgh Penguins new barn, the Consol Energy Center. I’ve been going to games at the Civic Arena since my Dad started taking me when I was in junior high. Although I had no problem with the Civic Arena, I was looking forward to… [Continue Reading]
This year I am “participating” in a great fundraiser for The Mario Lemieux Foundation. I thought this was a great idea last year, but didn’t participate for one reason or another. I decided to try growing a beard this year, and so far so good! Three games into the playoffs, and I’ve already been able… [Continue Reading]
If you’ve attended just about any Pittsburgh Steelers games this decade, you’ve heard their “anthem”, Renegade, by Styx. Similar to Sweet Caroline at Boston Red Sox games, it’s something that nobody could remember when it started, or why it was effective. Wonder no more. The good people at NFL films have put together a 30… [Continue Reading]
For as long as I can remember, I have been a Steelers fan. As a child, I would spend Sunday afternoons with my Dad and brother watching the likes of Mark Malone, Bubby Brister, and eventually Greg Lloyd. In hindsight, it probably would have been easier to like another team while growing up in the… [Continue Reading]
Last night was both the final home opener at Mellon arena, and the first game since the Pens won the Stanley Cup in June. I mentioned previously after the Steelers home opener that I was pretty disapointed in the minimal Super Bowl Celebration at Heinz Field. I was hoping the Pens would get it right.… [Continue Reading]
About a month ago, about 15 of us from my office decided to head up to Pittsburgh for a Pirates game. It’s rare that we find time to get together socially outside of work, and somehow we missed the fact that the game was on day 2 of the G20 summit…as you might expect, a… [Continue Reading]
I had tickets last night to see the Steelers open their title defense against the Tennessee Titans. It feels like there wasn’t even an offseason, thanks to them winning their second Lombardi trophy in four years, and the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup after making it to the finals two years in a row. I… [Continue Reading]

Not too long ago I raced road bikes, and was fairly competitive. Somewhere along the line I didn’t make the time to stay in good enough shape to hang with the local Wednesday night ride, and not long after didn’t ride much at all. I stayed in decent shape by going to the gym most… [Continue Reading]
The 2011 edition of the Technology Tools for Today conference wrapped up this afternoon in sunny Weston FL. Like last year, I’ve come away with several ideas about ways our financial advisory practice can make better use of technology. For extensive coverage of T3, check out the live blog by RIA Biz. As for me,… [Continue Reading]
By now you’ve probably seen more than a handful of advertisements or solicitations encouraging you to convert your Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. If you haven’t, take a moment to google Roth conversions and see how many ads and articles appear, extolling this opportunity. Why all the hype? 2010 marks the first time… [Continue Reading]
