You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. - Ray Bradbury
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

Hahahaha!!! Take that, Colts. I think Dungy will be giving the Twelfth Man award to the officiating staff that tried, but failed, to steal the game from my beloved Steelers. That play at 5:43 in the 4th was an interception by Polamanu, not an incomplete pass. That may be the single worst postseason call in NFL history, but at least it didn't matter in the end.
Watching Indy lose the way they did was excruciating. The mere thought of Bill Cowher makes my blood boil. Hopefully I won't have to see his ugly face on the TV in the Super Bowl. Go Broncos.
I don't know what it is about Cowher that I can't stand. If he wasnt't their coach, I would at least be ambivalent about the Steelers and might actually cheer for them. I like their running backs, and the young Roethlisberger is on his way to becoming a great NFL QB. And their defense is awesome! It's kind of like I'll see a beautiful woman and look her admiringly, but then she puts a cigarette in her mouth. The interest/admiration tends to end right there. The Steelers are similar but much more so, in that I'll be watching them and admiring how good they are... and then the camera pans to Bill Cowher and the Steelers become Satan.
I was also hoping those one-dimensional Bears would have beaten Carolina, but I guess Carolina's offense was good enough to beat a great defense like Chicago's.
