Octoberfest Zinzinnati 2019.

This weekend was Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 2019 weekend in downtown Cincinnati…

And this afternoon, we went downtown to check it out…

Last year, we didn’t go to Oktoberfest at all.

I tried this brat with curry sauce…

It was really good. Something a little bit different. Also a little bit different was the Halo from Busken Bakery…

A Halo is a warm Buskey glazed donut stuffed with ice cream and then hot pressed…

I got the Crown Jewel stuffed with Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip ice cream…

Ohmigosh. It was sooo good.

Next year, we’re taking advantage of this offer, if they do it again…

We made one slow meandering lap of the Oktoberfest. We had a couple of beers and had another brat or two in there. It was fun. Not nearly as much fun all the Oktoberfests as when we used to live downtown. But it was still pretty fun.

PROST! 😀🇩🇪🍺🌭❤️

Pause for paws.

Apparently, Oscar’s new favorite place to hang out and wait for us to come home from work is on the arm of our sofa…

Oscar is so dang cute and does such ridiculously cute things. 😀🐜❤️

Seen and noted.

On Fourth Street in downtown Cincinnati is Main Auction Galleries. When I walk by their storefront, there is usually something pretty interesting in their windows. Case in point today, there was a complete set of Japanese samurai armor…

How cool is that? 😀🇯🇵❤️

Checking in on the OscarCams.

He’s just sitting by the door, waiting for us to get home. We love seeing what Oscar is up to when we’re not home on the OscarCams. 😀🐾📷❤️

Meet the Egguins.

Our new Penguin Egg Holder arrived in the mail today. Making hard-boiled eggs has never been so much fun or so cute. 😀🥚🐧❤️

Good evening from Northside.

It was another pretty evening in Northside…

And the Northside sunset was very pretty too looking out our third-floor bathroom window through the trees in our backyard…

Good evening from Northside. 😀🌄❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made Paleo Thai Meatballs for dinner tonight…

And they were delicious! Genifer always finds the best meals to make. 😀🥡❤️

Fantasy baseball 2019.

I played fantasy baseball again this year. I played five teams this season. But I got massively distracted at the beginning of the season with my new job. And didn’t have a lot of time to keep up with my teams. Three of my teams were just terrible beyond repair. But I managed to salvage the season of two of my teams, got them both to a decent 12-9 record and willed them both into the winner’s bracket of the playoffs as the fourth seeds.

So now it’s playoff time for fantasy baseball. My Team Angry Bears were pitted against the one seed in the bracket, Yankees Camargo. And all three times I played Yankees Camargo during the regular season, I lost.

But this time in the playoffs, when it mattered the most, I finally beat them…
