The Pitt
Here I am back in Pittsburgh, where the Official Religion is Steelers.

The problem with traveling to Pittsburgh isn't the fact that it's Pittsburgh - it's actually kind of nice around here - but that there is NO direct route from my hometown of Charlottesville to here. This is because West Virginia is in the way, and nobody's bothered to cut a road through the mountains. Consequently, you have to start out going west - then kind of north-northeast - then north for a bit, though there's some zigzagging involved, and you leave the interstate for a while - then kinda west-northwest to Pittsburgh.

But the trip was easier than I expected, it being Christmas Eve and all. Five hours on the road, and we were done. Closer, even, than New York.

Now if I can get the laptop to quit crashing to the Blue Screen of Death, I might even have a good time visiting the in-laws.
