But the land-value tax is still a superior solution, in my humble opinion.
HBD2G&MM!

Can’t say, “No negative talk” as that itself is negative.
Attitude establishes altitude.\
Getting ready to open a new site, 4RS.org. Hope to feature ways to network the swim scene in and around Pittsburgh so as to make the resource as powerful as a fourth river.
Final bow.
Wonderful show. Catherine told a great story that centered around a 16 month relationship with a plant, not a ten-year struggle over cancer.
Lots of physical mojo in the stories including a guy who aims to dunk, then the trip to NYC with a back-seat pee, a bully-beating in high school, a patient patient, an ants in his pants teacher, and more.
Catherine’s three-time reign as Pittsburgh’s Grand Slam Champion has come to a close.
Catheine Palmer is a professor and audiologist. Her stories focus on the funny reality of parenting whether your kids are babies or taxpayers. This often misguided parenting has produced tow resilient young men who continue to make new stories. Listen to four of her stories on the website.

Hi All,
The Steelers have a bye week, and we’re saying bye to the warm weather in Western PA, but let’s not be strangers.
It is time to show up for some winter training and I’m calling to you — and not just #26, Le’Vion Bell.
Our first visit to Moon to happens from 2 to 4 pm on SUNDAY, at the new, indoor, MOON high school pool for some community SKWIM.
First visit is GRATIS. Open swim starts at noon. We start our game-play at 2 pm. I’ll bring the disks and you just bring the “plays well with others, can-do attitudes.” They even have plenty of fins at the pool.
See my new, mini, web course on SKWIM rules: https://skwim.us/courses/skwim-rules/

We’re going to go back to Moon a number of Sunday afternoons throughout the the remainder of the year, and we need a good turnout. We’ve been doing well, but have plenty of additional space on our Friday night sessions at Mt. Lebanon High School. Tuesdays we can swim and play both SKWIM and Water Polo at Chartiers Valley High School too.
We want you to stay active this winter — at the swim pool — in our programs. Say BYE to inactivity this winter.
Our events are being promoted on the MeetUp group, Free & Almost Free in Pittsburgh. You can RSVP there: https://www.meetup.com/pittsburgh-free/events/254996510/

Another competition happen in Pittsburgh on Friday night at the August Wilson Center in Downtown when my wife takes the stage to tell another story in The Moth’s Grand Slam event. Catherine is 2-time (or is it 3) defending champion for Pittsburgh. Ten people, all winners of the monthly shows in the past year, get an invite to tell a new story.

If you are going, let me know and we can include you in the tailgate.

Catherine attended her first board meeting in her new role as president elect at her professional organization, Triple A, the American Academy of Audiology. The board gathered in the DC area for three days.
Next weekend, without travel, rare in these seasons, comes with a Friday night performance at The Moth’s Grand Slam event in Pittsburgh at the August Wilson Center.
On Saturday, the new graduate students in Audiology at University of Pittsburgh get to celebrate at their White Coat Ceremony.
Golden years, coaching my kids.
An interesting fact about this team was that all the coaches had their own children swim on the swim team.
Steve was showing his inventions and helping coaches be better at our craft.
I’d love for you, your family and friends to consider a new set of swimming, play, fitness and community engagement events slated for August and detailed at a website I just launched.
We are holding drop-in practices for the next 2 weeks at Citiparks Ammon outdoor pool in Pittsburgh’s Hill District neighborhood from 3:30 to 5:30 pm on most days. This is a few blocks up from PPG Paints Arena where the Penguins play, central the to the city.
See the calendar and sign up there. Come on out and bring a team too.
Last night I had fun playing the water disk game, SKWIM, with a championship girls field hockey team and its coach. See my Facebook page. Rowers, hoopers, triathletes, and video-game players can give SKWIM a go.
Furthermore, we are gaining participation in club water polo efforts with the help of South Park Aquatics. Kids from the city, Mt. Lebo, South Park and Elizabeth Forward are all doing it now. More from Peters, Bethel and elsewhere are expected next week.
Lastly, on Saturday, September 1, 2018, NCAA Men’s Water Polo games are slated for Citiparks Highland Park Pool between Washington & Jefferson, Penn State, Gannon, Mercyhurst and our Pittsburgh Masters team, Renegades. See https://Renegades.4rs.org. Free admission. Save the date.
I’d be happy to coordinate to see you and your group at the pool this month. Call or email me for any additional insights.
(Please forward far and wide.)
