1. Yesterday, the family, including Ohio Sister, gathered at Mother and Father of PittGirl’s house to watch football and hockey and eat S’mores around the fire. I should tell you that Ohio Sister is a world-class S’mores maker. She slow roasts the marshmallows over the very top of the fire. This cooks that sucker all [...]

1. It is a beautiful sunny/purple cloudy/blue sky kind of day here in the Burgh. Chilly. Brisk. A great day for the first turtleneck of the season. I would also say a great day for the first do-me boots of the season, but alas, I am still WiiCrippled and that means no four-inch heels for [...]

Reader Jenn wrote in an email with the subject of “New Nominee for Smokin’ Hot Burgher”:
Hi Pittgirl!
Max Talbot. Please?
And I was like, Max Talbot?
Geico caveman Max Talbot?!
Jesus Max Talbot?
Oh, heck no! I’ll name Steely McBeam a hot Burgher before I name Max Talbot!
Jenn offered up proof from the P-G’s Empty Netters blog because apparently [...]

1. It wasn’t just your computer.
The Burgh Blog had a near-death experience last night when it overloaded a server or some other such technical nonsense and had to be shut down by the host for a time.
There was a great resuscitation effort by Woy when the doctor said, “We’ve done all we can.” Woy grabbed [...]

1. Windy!
2. Today is a great day here in the Burgh because it looks like fall. I can’t explain it; you have to see it. Maybe it’s the way the clouds are shaped, stacked high, haphazardly. A ribbon of light on the horizon. Or their odd colors with the grey meshing with the purple contrasting [...]

“Basically, it’s simple. There was a few teams in play, but my decision was between Pittsburgh and Detroit. Detroit won because the team stayed together and it’s a strong hockey team, a strong organization. Don’t want to take anything from Pittsburgh. I had a great time there, unbelievable young players and great group. But I [...]

Kansas City is pissed at Mario:
In other words, the Penguins held a gun to the head of local and state officials in Pennsylvania — and those politicians caved in.
I think I know who Yarone Zober gave his copy of Hyperbole for Dummies to.
Found in the comments to this article:
The wrong you do to others and [...]

1. I spent 43 minutes with WiiSteve last night and when he first popped on the screen to walk me through the Tree pose in Yoga, which, IMMEDIATE TOE CRAMP, he was rubbing his neck and actually said, “Man. I’m tired. I think I stayed up too late last night.”
Steve. Such a party animal.
Also, Steve [...]

Tomorrow is the date of three very important happenings.
1. Tomorrow is Sidney Crosby’s 21st birthday, so now when Pens Fan gives him that “mrowr” look, it won’t be quite so icky.
Get on with your cougar selves, ladies.
(h/t Susan and PittCheMBA)
2. Tomorrow is the Bryan Adams concert at the Byham. [deep calming breaths]
3. [...]

1. Welcome back to me! Florida was fan-freakin’-tastic, save for the jellyfish. I mean, wow, why the crap did God create jellyfish?! Not one member of the family was spared from their stings. Also, the final day at the beach, after not being able to get in the water for [...]
