Big sports weekend

It's a pretty big sports weekend here in Pittsburgh, at least for me. Penn State plays this afternoon followed by Pitt and Notre Dame tonight, along with the Pittsburgh Penguins game..... it's days like this I wish I had TiVo.

The way the Penguins have been playing lately I will probably be watching the Pitt game. I will be switching back and forth to at least check the score ( I'm no fair weather fan ). The pens certainly need a victory.... injuries have been taking a toll on the team.

I need to check the sports lines but the last time I heard, Pitt was favored by seven points over Notre Dame, it's a huge game for the Pitt Panthers. I also think it is a huge game for the Notre Dame coach, Charlie Weis. I have a feeling his job is on the line, the Notre Dame faithful do not tolerate losing.... I'm a fan of both teams, but I will be rooting for the University of Pittsburgh tonight!

Not to mention the Steeler game on Sunday, the Steelers play Cincinnati here at home. The top spot in the division is on the line. I think Pittsburgh is a better team now than when we first played Cincinnati this year. My money is on the Steelers for a big win at Heinz Field.

Hopefully the field will be in good shape after the Pitt game. The weather is going to be gorgeous, sunshine and 60° ! It's hard to believe it's the middle of November here in Pittsburgh. I have friends attending all the games and I'll be watching on TV.... It's a big weekend for Pittsburgh fans!

Squirrel Hill teen wins $75,000 on 'Jeopardy!'

Squirrel Hill teen wins $75,000 on 'Jeopardy!' I want to say Great Job on your victory and even better donating 20 % of your win to charity ! You are a true champion.

I watched Rachel win last night and she was quite impressive. Sometimes I think I'm addicted to Jeopardy, I watch it almost every evening. Shouting answers at the TV followed by an expletive when I'm wrong.

It was nice to see a local competitor win the tournament. Hopefully this is not her last appearance on Jeopardy, I believe she has a very bright future and obviously a social conscience, Congratulations!

Triskaidekaphobia or fear of 13

Today is Friday the 13th and a lot of people are superstitious about today. I just read a pretty good article over at Time magazine regarding this phobia and the history behind the superstition. What are your thoughts? Do you do anything different on Friday the 13th?

As for me, I'm not the superstitious type so I do not plan on doing anything different today.
