Yes, join the party. We're pretty harmless.

My most recent memory of Pittsburgh is standing down at the Point State Park Fountain area on a cold winter day at the end of January a few years back. It was very icy and there was construction at the top of the hill. We somehow made our way down past some barriers and were trying to throw my mother-in-law's ashes into the spot where the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers meet without throwing ourselves in.

It was windy and icy. Our fingers were frozen and we couldn't get the stupid box from the crematorium open, so we gave up and threw it all in: box, ashes, and all. My husband said it was his mother's final revenge.

Otherwise, we love Pittsburgh.
