Hey Dodgefan, I'm a bit late, but thoughts/prayers are coming your way. Very sorry for your loss. My grandmother died in October 2002, a few months before my last open heart surgery. I still sometimes can "hear" her...and I do miss her.

I've heard several people say that. Kinda surprised they didn't do a co-MVP, but whatever. Still a good game. I did hear about the porn in AZ ... wonder if people thought it was a commercial ... lol. I'm glad the Steelers won, especially since that means my Dad, a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers-Pirates-Penguins fan (since he grew up in the Johnstown/Holsopple PA area), is thrilled. I would've been just as happy if the Tennessee Titans won the Super Bowl. BUT ... I would've been the most happy if the Chicago Bears would've won the Super Bowl; they last won at the end of the 1985 season, beating New England in the 1986 Super Bowl ... New England, of course, losing last year to New York ... after going undefeated the entire season.... STEELERS .... 27 CARDINALS ... 23 PITTSBURGH ... longest play in SB history, 100 yard interception return for a TOUCHDOWN at end of first half ... MOST Super Bowl wins (6) ... 2nd most Super Bowl appearances (7) ... Dallas Cowboys have 5 Super Bowl wins in 8 appearances ... Mike Tomlin ... youngest coach in the Super Bowl; youngest coach to win the SB ARIZONA ... Took a 23-20 lead with 2:37 left in the 4th quarter, after starting the quarter down 20-7. ... Kurt Warner almost got a repeat of the 1999 Super Bowl. At the time, Warner was with the St Louis Rams ... which stopped the (my) Tennessee Titans' winning drive late in the 4th quarter to win the Super Bowl for Warner and coach Dick V.

Have you become a fan of a TV show AFTER its original run? Or, have you started watching a TV show after a few seasons have already been aired? For me ... in some cases, I've missed TV shows because I watch something else in that time slot. In others, it is because the show originally ran when I was "too young". Most-recently it is because I'm tired of giving shows a chance only for them to quickly disappear, like ABC's "Eli Stone". The newest "old" show I've started watching is former FOX staple "That '70s Show". I started watching because reruns are on late weeknights here in Chicagoland AND seeing Kurtwood Smith (Red Foreman on "That '70s Show") on CBS' new comedy "Worst Week" as Dick Clayton. Worst Weeks' Dick Clayton and That '70s Show's Red Foreman are similar and, imho, Smith is PERFECT for both roles. The two characters are different, mainly because Red Foreman's humor is verbal; Dick Clayton's humor is visual. I recently read that Chuck Norris was the actor who had been originally "envisioned" as Red Foreman. Just think how different Red Foreman would've been with Chuck Norris as the actor behind that character.... The most-recent TV shows I started watching after a few seasons had been aired include ABC's "Boston Legal" (now gone, of course), CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" and "Friday Night Lights" (close to the chopping block, but given a reprieve by DirectTV).

I'm in the midst of reading Jim Hinckley's book, _Route 66 Backroads_, to prepare and plan this year's Route 66 Drive, September 5-16. I'm learning a lot about different areas in several states that probably should be explored ... when I have time. I'm also beginning to wish I could take more time for the Route 66 Drive...and, for that matter, road trips in general.... As I read the book further, I wonder what else is "out there" of interest to see in various areas. Our own "backyard" has plenty "treasures" to explore ... many more than we have time to see. This became apparent when I saw the PBS specials on Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway; researched other famous routes (US RT 20, US RT 2, The Dixie Highway, etc.); and, of course, as I've road tripped across the United States. Reading Jim Hinckley's book is just reinforcing that. So ... what do YOU consider to be "should see" areas/places in your home state? What would you tell travelers to check out, if they have the time, as they drive through your state? What "obscure" and "out of the way" places in your home state come to mind?
