Business…here’s why I think it was okay for Doc Rivers to lie through his teeth about Sebastian Telfair.
I greet you today from scenic Belle Vernon, PA.  I’m here to interview Calvin Brock, who’s fighting Wladimir Klitschko next month for the IBF title.  Tonight, I’ll get to watch him spar and do an interview over breakfast tomorrow.  Should be pretty cool.
But goodness gracious, I better make sure I’m full at 10pm.  Cuz this ain’t no 24 hour sort of place.  I’m in the boondocks, baby.
But no joke, this area is really beautiful this time of year.  It’s not witch-tit cold, and the leaves are making a smooth transition from green to orange, with a lovely stop at yellow.  And when you look off the freeway, all you see is trees.  It’s really cool.
Unless you’re looking for a gas station.
The way they keep this place so gorgeous is by moving those obtrusive signs of modernity a few miles off the freeway.  That might be a fair trade if you’re from this place, but not if you’re coming in for a day from North Carolina.  Man, if I was getting gas instead of gum, I might have broken down looking for a BP.  You’ll see the gas station from the freeway, the big towering sign, and then you’ll get off the highway and think you lost your mind.  That was a bit of a hassle.
As were all the dead deer on my hour drive from the airport in Pittsburgh to my room in Belle Vernon.  Unofficial count–four.  And that’s not counting the possums.
Anyway, off to eat.  I think I’ll check out this Eat ‘N Park place Josie keeps talking about.  Or I’ll be a walking stereotype and hit up the Colonel.  New stuff is cool, but I haven’t had one of those biscuits in a while.  That’s good eatin’ right there.
