EARLY BIRD SPECIAL ... SUPER BOWL CHAMPION PARADE

I am posting this week's column early. Words are not necessary this week, as most of you know the score (27-23), now here are a few images that I shot during our PARADE OF CHAMPIONS, February 3, 2009. Here is my perspective on the parade; you saw the rest on the news…

Hello to all of you over there! The name of our city has been changed. It is now known as
SIXBURGH! Your PITTSBURGH STEELERS have now won SIX Super Bowls!

WELL-DONE!!!

On such a glorious occasion, I will not use heavy-handed words, and no further gild the Lily.

Yours truly, not only partied all night yesterday at Super Bowl get-togethers, but I found it somehow necessary to forgo sleep for nearly two days. After the parties were over, I was en route to Punxsutawney Pennsylvania for the 2009 Groundhog Day celebration; how quickly a year goes by. There, I stood out all night until Punxsy Phil came out of hiding to see his shadow, and to declare SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER!

Punxsy Phil Lookin' right at you

The Three Amigos

Phil saw his shadow this morning!
SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER IS PROCLAIMED ... BOO!
