Remember December 21, 2008 ....

Dear Tennessee Thugs a.k.a. Titans,

First of all, let me offer my deepest condolences on your stinging 37-17 loss to the Jaguars yesterday. In the words of Bill Clinton, "I feel your pain". It's the same pain I felt when you treated me poorly by stomping and wiping your snotty noses on my back the last time I visited Nashville. I really felt like that was unnecessary.

It dawned on me last night when I saw how Jacksonville embarrassed you that YOU HAVE NOT WON A SINGLE REGULAR SEASON GAME since you abused me last year. I guess it's true - what goes around does indeed come around. Maybe you should consider making a public apology to myself and the Steelers. It might help your predicament. Your sorry talent level and poor coaching sure won't.

No hard feelings,

The Terrible Towel

P.S. Tell Nate Washington hello for me. We're not really missing him.

P.P.S. I've enclosed my most recent picture and even autographed it for you - "6 Time Super Bowl Champions". GO STEELERS !!

Astellas sending 5 transplant recipients to 2010 Rose Parade

MarketWatch.com recently ran a story about Astellas Pharma U.S., Inc. sending five transplant recipients to the 2010 Rose Parade in Pasadena, CA. Each had submitted an essay in Astellas' Ride of a Lifetime Contest in which they told how their transplant changed their lives (read complete story at http://www.marketwatch.com/story/photos-astellas-celebrates-the-miracle-of-transplantation-by-sending-five-recipients-to-the-2010-rose-parader-2009-09-15).

Congratulations to the lucky five for winning the contest and on their transplants. I hope and pray that each of them is blessed with a long, happy, and productive life. Also, on behalf of transplant recipients everywhere, I want to say a big, big thank you to Astellas for all that they do on behalf of us transplant recipients to help us live long healthy lives.

P.S. QUICK REMINDER - Three Rivers, the story of the happenings at a transplant hospital, premieres this Sunday night, October 4, at 9 PM eastern / 8 PM central on CBS. Check it out (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/three_rivers/?ttag=mktg;Fall09Google).
