The past year has brought many surprising twists and turns to my life. First, falling in love once again after so many years with the first real love of my life perhaps is one of the greatest stories of my life. That has yet to be written - for public consumption. The second greatest twist happened when I fell in love with Pittsburgh. When I first visited here more than nine months ago, my daughter asked me why I was traveling to Pittsburgh. I wasn't sure I was ready to announce that I was going to meet my first love after a 37-year separation.
"I've always wanted to go there," I said.
"You have not," she replied.
And she was right. Pittsburgh was never on my top 10 list of places to visit - it probably wouldn't have made the top 100.
But here I am living here most of the time while I transition from Florida. And all I can say is I've fallen in love twice this past year - once with a man and once with a place.
