What I Did In Pittsburgh
So I'm back from Pittsburgh where I was attending a memorial service for my great aunt who died recently at the age of 90. Though it was a sad occasion, it did give me a chance to catch up with a lot of family members, some of whom I haven't seen in over twenty years. (Like many families, funerals seem to be the only time when we all get together as a group.) I also took the opportunity to see some of the sights around Pittsburgh, such as the Pittsburgh Incline, the Andy Warhol Museum, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. Besides the Warhol Museum, the most offbeat thing I encountered was a giant pumpkin at a farmer's market I stopped at while driving out to Fallingwater. It weighed 400 lbs. That's big, but a far cry from the world's biggest which, according to this National Geographic article, clocked in at 1,385 pounds.

Speaking of giant pumpkins, here's a little news item about Martha Stewarts upcoming encounter with one:

I think we need an investigation--are pumpkin bodybuilders using steroids?

Thanks, Cathy. She was quite a remarkable woman. Still very sharp and politically active at the age of 90. She had just finished watching The Daily Show (her favorite show). Then she went upstairs to go to the bathroom and collapsed from a heart attack. Died instantly. So thankfully she didn't suffer.
