Please don't keep your mouth closed, it was all in fun. I get a lot of flack for not being a Steelers fan. I'm a relatively casual sports fan and could really care less.

I started pulling for the Panthers during their 1-15 season because they reminded me of my Brownies. :wink: No matter what either one does, then can't seem to get it all together and come up with a consistent winning team.

Are any of you Harry Potter fans? or fans of music in general like piano or orchestra? I just finished learning "Dumbledore's Farewell" from "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" on piano. I learned it all by ear and I think it sounds very close to the original. In total, 12 hands are playing. Well, YouTube thinks it's the original song playing which I think is hilarious.
Here's the link to the video and I hope you all enjoy it.

That was really good and that is not just coming from the Harry Potter nerd in me. :lol:

You do realize he was the better quarterback that night, right? Clearly. Anyone can dump lateral screen passes to a wide open wide receiver. Unfortunately, that doesn't work in the NFL.

I just can't stand his arrogance. Not taking anything away from his abilities, he's just someone I don't want on my team.

Yes sir. WOW! I was in Covington, TN and watched it. Awesome.

As far as Cam goes, meh. No argument here on what he has accomplished but as he says himself he tries to force things. If he knows that then he should learn. He just doesn't remember I guess. Everyone has good and bad games but you've got to be able to buck up when it counts.

CP expert here! No, it's not authentic. Don't buy it.


Thanks!

Assuming you start in Chicago you can hit-

Six Flags Great America
Six Flags St. Louis
Silver Dollar City (Route 66 doesn't look too far from Branson)
Frontier City in Oklahoma City (small quirky park that used to be owned by Six Flags)
Cliff's Amusement Park in Albuquerque, NM (awesome small park, with the great New Mexico Rattler woodie)
Doesn't look too far from Las Vegas so you could hit all that if you wanted.
Ends in Los Angeles which has SFMM, KBF, Disney, Universal, etc.

I drove from Amarillo to Albuquerque in 2010. I mostly stayed on I-40 but pulled off at a few notable towns. Unfortunately all the "Route 66" charm has been taken over by chain hotels and trinket shops selling "Route 66" branded items. But the area is beautiful, and the rocky desert is an amazing stark contrast to the hills and trees of North Carolina that I was used to.
