How's your girlfriend's father doing? Is the drive to Pittsburgh OK? |

He was scheduled to get in yesterday. He should be tailgating now, although it's raining. Actually ....as I look at my watch.... he should be touring Heinz Field right now. Probably eating in the stadium right now. Staying dry. I hope it snows on him during the game. |

Can anybody PM me his cell? I'll text him. That'd shake him loose.

Not that I really want to hear about the shellacking the Steelers will likely lay on the Bengals today. |

I was looking for him on TV. Didn't see him. Can't wait for a report. I hope he'll go again next season, too. |

Hi all - thanks for checking in, very nice of you. First, the important stuff...the GF's dad is doing well. He had an 8-hour surgery (the family was camped out in the hospital, luckily made it there despite the metrodome-collapsing blizzard they had there), and he had the 20-lb tumor removed along with one kidney and bladder. He's in the ICU now and all signs are looking good. Was talking soon after the surgery, but still need to hope and pray that the recovery process goes well. So far though, it seems like the thoughts and prayers were heard since the surgery was a success and the docs said they got all of the tumor. Regarding the game...R2 your timing was RIGHT ON THE MONEY. I was in the Great Hall checking out all the cool stuff right around noon. Was such a cool environment to be around all Steelers fans (usually I'm the only one in at the bar). Just so cool to be at the game, in the stadium, in person. I even had a Primanti Bros sandwich (Capicola and Cheese), it was delicious! I layered up so the 35 degrees didn't bother me much. It was drizzly at first (I was hoping for snow too), but the precipitation let up a bit, and it turned out to be a great game to watch. 23-7 victory, and my favorite player Troy Polamalu had two interceptions, including one returned for a TD! I was wearing his jersey and everything...it was terrific! Funny thing is...I decided during the 2nd quarter to take a video, just to capture the perspective and experience as seen from our seats. It was the first and only video I shot...but it turned out to be the one play where Troy returned the interception 50 yards for a TD! See my video below, as well as a picture I snapped with my phone:

Wow, 89th. Your GF's dad had quite a surgery. Glad to hear he's doing well afterwards. Made my knees weak to read of his tumor removal, as well as the kidney and bladder. Oh my. Also pleased to hear you had such a good time at the game. Your GF sure knows how to treat you right. When are you going to make sure she doesn't get away? Minnesooota is your destiny. Don't fight it.

You are the real deal, 89th. Hope you can plan to go again in 2011 with the girlfriend. Glad the surgery for her dad went well. |
