Early February brought about a snow storm that led to another snow storm that led to yet another. And we spent our time either shoveling, huddling inside, bundling up to go in search for delicious bacon or complaining about how much February sucked. And trust me, it sucked. Garfield the Cat referred to February as the “Armpit of the Year” AMEN to that.

And for the record I can say that (because I am a huge slacker & so far behind in my posts) that Sunday, MARCH 14, the snow finally disappeared from our yard. yeah…that’s over one month.

…It’s Good

(and if January 1 is any kind of indicator, it’s also full of cheese.)

Happy New Year!!!!!

I have connections. Well not really, but when someone drops four tickets to a NFL playoff game in my lap, I can at least put up the pretence. Four o’clock Friday afternoon I sat in my office, struggling to stay awake when my phone rang. If that was enough to get my heart rate up to maximum fat burning levels in about 3 seconds. The offer for four tickets to the Steelers / Chargers playoff game sent me into cardiac arrest.

After my early morning attempt to avenge a DNF out at the Botanic Gardens (let’s call this Epic Fail Part 2) which left sidekick shaking his head at my mania dedication to caching [it was below freezing] we headed up to Pittsburgh.

Without further ado, because in this instance the photos can do all the talking, allow me to let you see how the “beautiful people” (as Darrin said) watch football these days…

Chad and Darrin sweet talk the beer lady before nearly passing out when enlightened about the amount of the tab.

Darrin and Jay are pleased to be warm. So this is a football stadium, right?

I like football! Especially when there are clean, bright warm restrooms with no lines. Rocks out!

Do these guys look like they would send photos taunting their friend?
