David’s last pairing
3rd wine
Thank goodness the Steelers won!
that was rough. I do believe the steelers would have blown them out, but they enjoy making dad and I sweat. If life was easy it wouldn’t be worth living. Luckily, the great wine, food, cigars, and especially family make it worth while
I can’t eat during Steelers games. I pace. And that second half would have given me heartburn if I had. Let’s hope for our 7th Lombardi!
Laurence, thank goodness my son and husband had their sandwiches before the second half.
