Matt Doz and I grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same high school and ran on the same cross-country team. He runs like the wind and was PAC 10 champion in 91. Since then he's become a lawyer and doesn't put on the kicks much, but I got him to jog around "The Strip" (main drag in Pitt with bars, markets, restaurants and shops) with me. He still had to put a hurt on me running wise!

BELOW: This is the view from Matt's apartment. Not bad for a city boy. Hockey fans will recognize it as the home of the Pittsburg Penguins- right Deb?
 

BELOW: Matt took me out with some of his Yahoo lawyer friends. I tried to hang tough, but this picture was the end of my night (2:00 am), while they went to some party. Sorry Pete, I promised not to sleep until noon anymore and I didn't want to start on my vacation!

Well, that's me in Pittsburg. I had to leave the big steel city to hit Cleveland. Thank you to my friend Dozman for hooking me up with a nice place and great time.
