Colonoscopies and Hines Ward

I had originally planned to blog about Doug and Mary's wedding this weekend. And that will most likely be the case on the next one. However, I feel the need to share this particular morning. Since my brother is in town for said wedding, I took Monday off of work and we decided to get up a little early and have breakfast at Pamela's. I love that place for breakfast. Fate did not smile on us. There was a power outage in parts of the South Hills and Pamela's was closed. Bummer. But where to go? We finally ended up at Freddie's on Route 88. Small and comfortable with a filling breakfast. The restaurant was full of people share tales of their lives. Something I always enjoy. There was a table behind us being especially loud and their conversation followed this path: Hines Ward-Willie Parker-Aircraft Carriers-Colonoscopies-the difference between ventilators and respirators-colonoscopies-Marines-being burned over 70% of his body-Prostate exams-Hines Ward. It took all of my strength not to turn around and just look at this person who could make a smooth transition from all of these topics. Someone who can find a transition point between Prostate Exams and the Steeler game. Yet another reason I love Pittsburgh. Because you can have an amazing breakfast, hear how Hines Ward should have caught those two passes, and learn about the state of some one's colon all before you get your coffee refilled.
