Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
We celebrate a man’s life today who taught us to dream and while dreaming, love others.
Remembering the legacy of a great man today. Thank you Dr. MLK, Jr. 🙂

Christmas carnage, part 3.
And we contributed to the carnage by taking out our little Christmas tree…
You were a really nice little tree and so pretty. We enjoyed you thoroughly.
Thanks for making our holidays so festive. 🙂
UPDATE: Some put their Christmas tree in an enormous plastic bag and set it out on the curb. I can honestly say, I’ve never seen anything like that before…

Downtown details.
Here are some random photos from around downtown from throughout the last week.
The week got off to a really chilly start…
When we were walking Oscar one night, a whole bunch of fire trucks showed up for a false alarm at the P&G GO Towers…
Something happened to the lights in the stairwell in our building. Now the it’s eerily dark with a pretty creepy red tint to it…
We watch a lot of shows about ghostly hauntings. The way the stairwell is lit right now, we find ourselves watching for spirits lurking in the shadows out of the corner of our eyes…
We walked by some chilly broomball taking place on Fountain Square…
They’re making a bunch of progress on the new Holiday Inn on Seventh Street…
And of course, we took some walks down to Lytle Park…
The progress on whatever it is they’re doing to Lytle Tunnel underneath Lytle Park…
And just a couple cones hanging out on a Saturday night…
It’s really hard to walk around downtown and not take a bunch of photos. 🙂

Wedding countdown.
Genifer started a countdown timer on her phone with the time left until we get married in Montego Bay, Jamaica. And it’s a lot closer than I realized. I knew it was right around the corner but the big day is getting really close…
This is so exciting. We are all set. And all ready to go!
And we cant wait! 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #8.
Tonight, we went to our 8th Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena…
The Cyclones were taking on the Fort Wayne Komets again. It seems like we’ve only seen the ‘Clones play only three teams over the eight games we’ve been to so far this season.
This guys wears shorts and flip-flops to every Cyclones game, no matter how cold…
At the end of the first, it was still all knotted at zeros…
1-0 CYCLONES!
There’s always someone with a vuvuzela…
Hi there! It was starting get a bit chippy…
Because at the end of the second the Cyclones trailed 3-1…
Our photo made the big screen at US Bank Arena! Again!
4-1…
And that’s how it would end. 4-1 Komets over the ‘Clones…
Hopefully, the Cyclones will bounce back for our next hockey game. 🙂

Dinner at Morton’s.
We noticed on the Instagram of Morton’s Steakhouse that they were offering a new year’s celebration promotion featuring three courses for just $36 through January 14th. To make matters even better, we’ve been sitting on $150 in Morton’s gift cards that I received as a reward through my PNC Points Visa. Guess who’s eating at Morton’s tonight!
For the starter, we both had the half Caesar Salad…
For the entree, we both got the 6 ounce Filet…
Mmmm… Morton’s steak. Just look at that mouth-watering slab of meaty goodness…
The entree came with a choice of accompaniment. Genifer went with the broccoli florets and I got the horseradish mashed potatoes….
For dessert, we were both going to go with their creme brulee. But as luck would have it, they have already sold out of all 76 creme brulees that were prepared for the day. So Genifer opted to go with the carrot cake…
And I went with the double chocolate mousse…
Needless to say, it was an incredible meal that left us both stuffed. And the best part is, we still have Morton’s gift cards left for next time! 🙂

Snow squall.
It was lightly snowing outside when I got to work this morning…
Genifer texted me to tell me that a sudden squall of heavy snow created whiteout conditions that just caused a 40-vehicle pile-up on I-74 near the Indiana-Ohio state line. And that the squall was just minutes away from enveloping downtown. Sure enough, minutes later, the snow squall started blowing through. I watched it from my window at work, and I captured a few videos of it on my Instagram that I uploaded to my Flickr…
It’s crazy how the snow completely blocked out Carew Tower, PNC Tower and Fifth Third Center just a few blocks away…
I also captured a little bit longer video of the squall as well…
And then just as quickly as it started, it was gone. And everything was back to normal.
I couldn’t imagine trying to drive in something like that. 😦

Winter wonderland.
The temperatures dropped overnight. And we got our first real snow of the winter. When we woke up this morning, it was raining but that quickly turned to snow. And it was really coming down out there…
When Oscar and I went on our morning walk, downtown was a winter wonderland…
Brrrr. Baby, it’s cold outside. 🙂
