February 10th, 2006

The Saturday night before the superbowl, at 8PM, wife and I decided that it would be a good idea to drive back to my hometown (Washington, PA, about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh) from Raleigh, NC to watch the game on Sunday, and if we won, go into Pittsburgh to experience the celebration. Once we heard the parade was on Tuesday, I couldn’t pass up the chance to attend.
