My sister peeps and I were born and raised in Steeler country. So, it’s a big weekend for us.

In days of old, like, back in the 70s when we all still lived in the same town, we would get together at one of our houses almost every Sunday during football season.  Those were the days – Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann and Stallworth, Rocky Blier, Jack Hamm, Franco Harris, Mean Joe Green, Coach Chuck Noll (who still  has the record for most Super Bowl wins in history!!!!), and let’s not forget Marvin  Myron Cope and the invention of The Terrible Towel!  What a team! What fans!

I just read this morning that Obama is rooting for the Steelers, too. Outside of the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh is his favorite.

I am truly going to miss being with you, my sweet sisters, for Sunday’s game. But, I can take some comfort in knowing that we will all be watching the greatest pro football team of all time.

My Super Bowl menu includes: hot wings, stuffed mushrooms, potato skins, stuffed jalapenos, veg dip and vegetables, oh, and Rotel cheese dip and chips.  Boy, wouldn’t a bunch of Murphy’s wings be awesome, with a few Rolling Rocks to wash ’em down. Heaven.

Let me know your specific plans for Sunday and, of course, what you are eating for the celebration!

Rock on, Steelers!
