I got back from Pittsburgh

I got back from Pittsburgh this morning. Each time I go back to pgh i come back with a better appreciation for quality in small doses.

One thing I didn't get to do this weekend but wanted to was check out the James Turrell opening at the Mattress Factory. But, being a museum at a slower pace the exhibit will be there for a *year* so I have plenty of time to check it. So, check out pgh if you can - the steel mills are only half the fun.
