One guess which one of the kids we had to wake up to take this picture

Location – Pittsburgh.

Maggie and I have been traveling it seems like all summer and all fall. This time to Pittsburgh. Spending so much of my youth making friendships with people from Pittsburgh, with Bobby living for a few years in Pittsburgh, and a number of trips to this town in my first 25 years or so of life, it was amazingly familiar to arrive to town. I remembered all of these yellow bridges from my youth, and the skyline drives coming into town.

This trip is for Maggie and a college visit, Duquesne. I am trying not to influence her decision, but I like this place and I like this coach. She is doing a great job though of setting the course for herself. I am just along for the ride.

I love college basketball, and got to go to a game while Maggie was off with the team. Took a pic with the school mascot. I could get used to visiting Maggie here.

We went out to cut down the Christmas tree. A whole family affair. Marcia insisted that we all go, so that I don’t go overboard and get a big tree. Last year, I got too big of a tree. So, we went to the farm together.

Marcia: I love this tree
Me: Are you sure, it’s kinda big

Ok, Noah.

Looks beautiful
