As Super Bowl XLI draws near, Kelly and I could not help but remember where we were just one year ago – at the Super Bowl in Detroit as the Steelers captured the coveted “One for the Thumb” after 26 years of trying.

The "Ex" Files
January 26, 2007
I have never thought of Pittsburgh as a big city. Rather it’s a small town, where there are only three degrees of separation between you and the person next to you. I learned that lesson once again — twice this week.

Happy New Year!
I take one week off and look how much the world changes. We lose a godfather, a former President and a despot. They say these things happen in threes and such is the case with the deaths of James Brown, Gerald Ford and Saddam Hussein.
We will always be able to enjoy [...]
