And just to demonstrate what nonsense I spew here on a daily basis: Pittsburgh is probably not a city I ever would have visited in and of itself. It's not really the center of anything other than football-related obsessiveness. I have no history here; I don't know any of the names of things. But now I am here and it may be the most beautiful city I have ever seen, it may be the most wonderful place in the world, just because of the people who are here.

Sometimes I read my own posts and decide I just have too much free time on my hands most days.
