Try not to cry.
I’m heading to sunny North Carolina for a week of relaxation.
I will miss the Burgh and I will my my blog.
See you in a week!
Be sure to let me know if someone out there does something annoying or awesome while I’m away.

Can we talk? Honestly, I was really having trouble figuring out who was the annoying Burgher of the week. Was it Hines Ward, who I secretly am supporting in his quest for moolah? Is it the judge that gave a slap on the wrist to the drug dealer that sold ecstasy that killed a girl? [...]

I know I tend to come off as a rose-colored-glasses-wearing Pollyanna (”PollyBurgher”?) who thinks that everything and everyone “rocks”, but believe me, the Burgh is rocking today!
It is a glorious morning and not only that, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Bruce Springsteen, and Mrs. Kenny Chesney Renee Zelwegger are all in town today. According to the [...]

My blog is nearing 8,000 total hits since July 14. Pretty cool.

Again, not judging. Just saying.

I would posit that autumn is by far the favorite season of the Burghers. Why? Not only do [...]

A big fat round of applause to Trip Weldon, the 2005 Bassmaster tournament director, for giving me my first good guffaw all week (and it is Wednesday) with this quote:
A tie for first that day (Sunday) will result in a “sudden death fish-off” Monday

What Santorum actually said was this gem:

Who is this? Hmmm. Take a guess.
Also take a guess as to what this has to do with Pittsburgh. The answer is: not a thing.
Hey, I’m not trying to be a celebrity blog, but when I come across something as startling as this on the web, well, I gotta share.
