Who woulda guessed? A recent EIU survey ranked the world's most livable cities. At the top of the list is Melbourne and Vancouver (which I've been to, and it's like a paradise). Other high ranking cities included Vienna(been there, too!) and just about everywhere in Switzerland. The highest ranked US city came in at 26th... Pittsburgh! (Tied with Cleveland, but our football team is WAY better).

A lot of people are probably surprised by this, but the old stigma of Pittsburgh being a dirty old steel town still lingers, despite the fact that the air quality is outstanding here, the water is clean, and the industry no longer lives here. The low crime rate and low cost of living also contribute to the ranking. Pretty cool town.

Exciting news upcoming! My lady and I are going to a lounge in the Strip Tuesday night for the "Joey Porter Show" (all-pro Steelers linebacker, does a short weekly sports-talk show with local newscasters). The guest for the night will be Hines Ward. I'm pumped!
I'm hoping he'll hit on my girlfriend so I can talk to him.

I'll fill you loyal readers in (both of you) on how it goes.
