Things I Observed in Pittsburgh

  • Man-clogs are very popular there.
  • Flip-flops are as ubiquitous as here. Some people think they are okay apparel for a wedding.
  • Major league cities take their major league teams seriously, and so citizens talk sports way more than in my minor league town.
  • Some people don't get that others' faiths are important to said others and distinct from that of said Some People.

Also Note: Mitch has posted wedding pix that a couple of us took using her camera this weekend.


On the Muzak at Ukrop's: "Come Dancing" (Kinks).

Were you not prepared to discuss the joys of the Steelers defense and the rise of the charming, young QB Ben Roethlisberger??

The 'Burgh has always been hot on their teams, but why shouldn't they be? The Steelers of the 70s are considered one of the greatest teams of all time, spawning hall of famers, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann and the misnamed "Mean" Joe Greene. The Pirates' Roberto Clemente was unanimously voted to the Baseball Hall of Fame and continues to inspire Latin players and all fans of America's game. And last, but not least, what can be said of the back-to-back Penguins Stanley Cup victories in the 90s?! Mario Lemieux is second only to the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, in many hockey fans' books.

With all of that to talk about, how could anyone get around to chatting about the Warhol Museum, Wright's Fallingwater, or the Pittsburgh Symphony?

I recommend kicking back with a cold IC Light, waving your Terrible Towel above your head, and enjoying this 3 sport proud town.
