Observations from the Crow's Nest

• A North Hills piano teacher has been charged with sexually assaulting two girls during private piano lessons during the past two years. The girls’ parents became suspicious when the girls told them that their teacher could play “Chopsticks” with no hands.

• Today, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin refused to criticize the NFL for not suspending Oakland defensive end Richard Seymour for punching Big Ben in the face this past Sunday. Apparently, Tomlin could not find the appropriate buzzwords or clichés to express his dissatisfaction with the league’s action.

• Funny thing happened this past Saturday. I was channel surfing and started watching Weekend at Bernie’s. Fifteen minutes later, I realized I was actually watching the Penn State game.
