| Washington, DC's Union Station: Panorama |
Another train trip brought me to Union Station, Washington, D.C. where my buddy, Harry, picked me up and we drove to Pittsburgh for our first Steelers vs Ravens NFL game in Pittsburgh's Heinz Field. We spent Saturday evening on a pub crawl with Murph's Pittsburgh buddies. The Ravens won a hard fought battle, but they earned the win as their play overall was clearly superior.
Harry and I worked another
US Sailboat Show as his business is installing and supporting the networks connecting his clients at the show to the internet. It was hectic as usual with a significant hiccup late Wednesday (the show opens Thursday morning), but Harry and his electrician cousin, Bobby, got it resolved as I played my role of "Gopher" (go fer this and that).

After the Sailboat Show I returned to Pittsburgh to visit with family and friends. As usual, the visit with Paul, Kelsey, Avery and Jesse was wonderful and way too short.

A new twist this year included a visit by professional Scouter, Bill, my roommate in New Castle, PA in the late 1970s. He continued his career with the Boy Scouts until his recent retirement. As a result, he was free to fly to Pittsburgh from his home in Dallas and renew friendships with several Pennsylvanians, including Dick, Bob and myself. We introduced Bill and Keith who became new friends.
