Short

As in, the weekend is too... short.

A Saturday morning wasted was balanced by a lovely Sunday morning breakfast with friends in Fineview, high about Heinz Field.

The neighborhood's name is utterly self-descriptive.

Good girlfriend Ellen lives there and invited a bunch up for pancakes. We all supplied the rest: Mimosas, quiche, turkey bacon, salad and company. Ellen's house is a couple doors up from this charming cottage.

The day was gorgeous initially, then turned cloudy, but we all had a fine time chatting and noshing.

My friend Maria picked me up with another friend, Margi, in tow and as we drove in we started complaining about Steelers traffic and how getting up early had caused us to miss our morning ritual of coffee and the Sunday newspaper.

Maria told a funny story about her mom, who disliked a particular sister-in-law. Said sister-in-law once invited Maria's family for a weekend visit. Maria's mom, not shy abaout stating her opinions, said "She wants us to come up? Well she can go to hell!"

We had a laugh over that and then as soon as the complaints about Ellen making us miss the Sunday paper bubbled up, immediately we all said, "Well, she can go to hell!"
