Six years ago, we were enjoying some Spring Training baseball out in Arizona with my parents…
It was such a great trip! Hopefully, we’ll get to go to some more baseball games this summer. 😀⚾️♥️

Saturday, March 6th.
I’d never seen all The Hobbit movies. So tonight, we started watching the trilogy…
😀🌄⚽️🍕📺❤️

B1G TEN CHAMPIONS!
If you would have told me when the college basketball season started that Michigan was going to thump Michigan State in Crisler Center to clinch the B1G TEN Regular Season Championship, I would have thought it was just wishful thinking. It doesn’t get much better than that. But that’s exactly what happened…
BIG TEN REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS! GO BLUE! 😀🏀〽️🏆❤️

Tuesday, March 2nd.
We ordered El Taco Veloz for dinner tonight via Doordash…
It was really delicious stuff. And someone finally found their bunny…
Michigan played host to Illinois tonight…
And… Michigan got thumped. It was a terrible game. But it was a small bump in their otherwise outstanding season. 😀🌄🇲🇽🐰🏀〽️❤️

A sunny day in Northside.
It was a very bright and sunshiny morning…
Good morning from Northside…
And the sun was out all day today…
Good evening from Northside…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This was Swiss Chicken with honey mustard green beans and crispy onions…
It was another really delicious meal. The cheesy chicken was really terrific and the green beans were really good. I think crispy onions can make anything even more delicious. We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
While I was working this afternoon, I listened to Leicester beat Chelsea 2-0 to go top of the Premier League. And this evening, we watched Michigan bounce back from their first loss by thumping Maryland 87-63.
We had another good Tuesday. 😀🌄☀️🐔⚽️🏀❤️

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
Today, we remember the legacy of a great man. We honor The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr… a man who dared to dream while standing fearlessly in the face of adversity. We celebrate the man who taught us to dream while still loving others…
“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”
“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”
“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.”
“Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
We both had the day off work today for the holiday. It was a cold and snowy day…
Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made cheesy buffalo chicken pasta with garlic bread for lunch…
Good evening from Northside…
I realized when we got to the stairs at the top of the hill at the end of our street that I had forgotten my little fisheye Moment lens…
Today, we watched Arsenal beat Newcastle 3-0. And we watched the MLK Day NBA games especially the Grizzlies win over the Suns. I like the Griz. I think they have the best logo in the NBA. It was a very nice day off. And another very low-key, relaxing day. 😀🌄❄️🔥🐔⚽️🏀❤️

Fantasy football wrap-up.
I played fantasy football again this season…
I played four teams but I didn’t realize that all four of my teams of PPR (Points Per Reception). I’d never played PPR leagues before and it showed. Two of my four teams teams made the playoffs and my best finish was 3rd place…
My other teams finished fourth, fifth and seventh, all in eight team leagues. Is that bad? It’s not good. But I still think fantasy football is so much fun. It makes the football season really interesting and enjoyable, especially when you’re winning. Which I wasn’t. 😀🏈🏆❤️
On to fantasy basketball…

Come on you Loons!
It was another cloudy, overcast, grey Monday morning…
Good morning from Northside…
Time for day 7 of my Lego City Advent Calendar…
With the exception of the mini figures, each day every little set has had a few random leftover extra pieces…
Today was pretty slow at work. It was a lot of hurry up and wait today. I was just waiting for dinner.
And fast forward through the rest of the workday to this evening. For dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals. This meal was Garlic-Sesame Steak Noodles with snow peas and honey roasted peanuts…
And it was another really good dinner. The noodles and the garlic-seasme sauce was terrific. And I ate all the snow peas first. I just not a big fan of most steaks. It was tasty. But there was just a lot of beef. And I kept ending up with just this ball of meat in my mouth. I could have used a lot more of the noodles and snow peas and less of the steak. But it was still another super tasty meal. We like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
The sky was really odd tonight. It was mostly cloudy with just this little sliver that was very bright right at the horizon. Good evening from Northside…
Later this evening was the MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Final between my beloved Minnesota United and Seattle Sounders…
Minnesota was a pretty sizeable underdog coming into this match…
But Minnesota really took the game to Seattle and led 1-0 at half courtesy of a golazo freekick wonderstrike by their new star player Argentine Emanuel Reynoso…
COME ON YOU LOONS! United added their second in the 67th minute on a Bakaye Dibassy header from another Reynoso freekick. The Loons were up Dos a Cero and I was on cloud nine. Sounders pulled one back in the 75th minute as they continued to turn up the pressure. 😬 And the Loons couldn’t hold on as Seattle stormed back to score two more goals, both off of corners, one in the 89th and the other at 90+4 to win the match 3-2. Crushing. Absolutely crushing.
But it was one heck of a playoff run and a tremendous season for Minnesota United. No one expected them to reach the conference finals in just their fourth season in MLS. And even though the Loons season is over, it was still a pretty darn good Monday.
😀🌄☁️🍜⚽️🏆🥲❤️

Today felt like autumn.
The sky was very pretty this morning…
It’s still been pretty warm with temperature in the mid-to-upper 70s and low 80s. But today was a little bit cooler with a high of just 70º…
Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made an Autumn Sausage Veggie & Apple Sheet Pan for dinner…
With Stove Top stuffing! I love Stove Top stuffing…
Thankfully, it’s finally Stove Top stuffing season again. Stuffing makes it feel like autumn. Did I mention I love stuffing?
Good evening from Northside…
And that was our Tuesday. We watched the the Rays go 3-0 up on the cheaters from Houston. And the Braves took a 2-0 lead over the Dodgers. A Rays versus Braves World Series wouldn’t be too bad. 😀🌄⚾️❤️

None of your teams are playing today.
When I wake up every morning, the first thing I do is look at the weather. Then I doom scroll through the news emails (1440, CNN 5 Things, NYT Morning Briefing, & NPR Daily News) in my inbox really quick. Then I check the Sports 365 app to see what sports are going to be taking place later in the day. I use Sports 365 to help decide what I’m going to wear and if there will be anything interesting to watch later. I checked the app this morning and saw this…
That’s never happened before. Inside Sports 365, I tagged 42 teams and 11 competitions as favourites. Apparently, none of them were playing their respective sports today. Now I have no idea what I’m going to wear today and more importantly what I’m going to watch later. After Sports 365, the next app I look at is my Timehop. These photos were in my Timehop this morning…
And today was my 850th Timehop in a row…
My 800th Timehop came when we were on our trip to Duck back in August.
And after all that, I can start my day. 😀🌄📱❤️
