Park at station square and take the clipper over. You can tailgate and then walk down to the clipper dock. I believe its 10 bucks round trip. The boat leaves you right off at Heinz Field.

but doesn't it cost like 20 to park in station square?

That is a nice free webmail service. I like how you log in and it looks like you launched a real email program. The layout is great, everything looks sharp. I had to get a solid webmail account since I'll be using it a lot. Comcast has been extremely sporadic with mail delivery from Europe for several months now. I have had people tell me they get their mail returned to them as SPAM. I looked at all the options and filters. Even added specific email addresses on the accept list. Nothing. Called Comcast and they appeared clueless. Anyway, check out that service if you need an account.

I got scotty bowman to reply to a tweet I sent about him and mario feuding during his pens coaching days. He said there is no feud.

There was another push-to-death Subway act.

http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20121228/US.Subway.Push.Death/?cid=hero_media

NEW YORK — Police searched for a woman who killed a man by pushing him in front of a subway train and released surveillance video Friday of her running away from the station.

Commuters, meanwhile, absorbed the news of the second fatal subway shove in the city this month.

Frankly when the writer and singer of a song is moved to tears over it, I'd say it was a good performance :pop:

who knows. but he's not exactly impartial.

imo, the soul of that song is in the soft parts. if you don't kill it there, you lose.

You really didn't expect the Wilson sisters to exceed one of the all-time rock and roll classics did you?

I think they did an excellent job even attempting to cover that song especially in that venue.

I think he (or was it Page) said on Letterman they loved the huge choir at the ending. It really made it for them.

For the record, the Wilson sisters are viewed as one of the best Zeppelin cover artists. They have sang their songs many times. Also, the guitarist that did Page's solo played with Sting. I think Jimmy was pretty impressed with him.

Had a nice little Friday in Philly with the wife. Got lunch at Garces Trading Company. I had the JG Sandwich which is shredded beef topped with homemade Italian sausage. Very good. Also ordered a side of Duck Fat Fries. Also very good. Went ice skating (or in Canada "skating") at the River Rink at Penn's Landing. Got to show off my awesome skating skills to the wife who wasn't as bad as she let on. Finished it up with a beer at Yards Brewery and purchased a growler for New Years.

Ann and Nancy Wilson, as the leaders of the Lovemongers, covered "The Battle of Evermore" for the Singles soundtrack.
