Lilac Colored Glasses

Ahhh, Pittsburgh.

I miss it more and more each year I’m away (okay, only 2 so far, but it’s still true). I don’t know anywhere else in the world with the type of people and atmosphere. I mean, where else can you get on a tiny little air taxi and end up discussing the leaves changing, PenDOT, Halloween costumes, and a story about someone’s great uncle driving for General McArthur in WWII all in 35 minutes. With multiple passengers involved in the exchanges.
There really are no other people like Pittsburgh people.

Anyway, that said, my trip went smoothly and I got in exactly when I was supposed to. I spent most of the trip on shopping excursions with my mom, but I also managed to eat some of my favorite foods (Spanish black olives, this amazing hamburger, a shmagel, STARBUCKS coffee, Japanese hibachi) as well as my first PB&J sandwich in two years.

Seriously, I hadn’t had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich since before I moved.

When I wasn’t out with my mom or watching reruns of Roseanne and The Nanny on Nick at Night, I was attending a bat-mitzvah and the wedding of my Little. And since I got a new camera while I was there so I’m sharing not only a few pictures from the wedding but a few gratuitous shots from here as well.

I promised I wouldn't show anyone this picture but c'mon, how could I not?
