Halfway to the top and had to stop for a quick warm up complete with pulled pork sammies, dark and stormy (for moi) and bloody Mary (for him). Not sure what the booze will do for our skiing skills but here’s hoping it numbs us up a bit. Brrr, baby its cold outside.

Portlandia, your 15 minutes are up. Long live Pittsburgh - The Washington Post

As a born-and-raised Pittsburgher, I’ll go a step further. Portland, with its elaborate facial hair and abundance of strip clubs, represents irony. Pittsburgh, with its working-class pragmatism, is the opposite: earnest and straightforward. It’s a place where people drink cheap beer and wave their Terrible Towels without self-consciousness. Hipsters take faux working-class attributes —brusque beards, Pabst Blue Ribbon and occupations such as butchery — and integrate them into their lives with an ironic wink and a superiority complex. In Pittsburgh, you can find all of the above, only without the derision and affectation.

Aaand we’re back. As usual Ollie Cat did awesome. We even let her out of her carrier to walk around a bit at LaGuardia during our layover. Cab-ing it home and then climbing into bed for some serious napping. We may even get a little crazy hang blankets over the windows - real hermit style - just to experience optimal napping conditions.
