Tonight, Genifer made Trader Joe’s Mandarin Orange Chicken for dinner tonight…

We haven’t had the orange chicken in a minute. It was every bit as good as I remember it. Sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder. 😍🥡🐔❤️

Yesterday was 599th Timehop in a row…

So that means today was my 600th Timehop in a row…

There’s been some really good stuff lately in my Timehop…


Six years ago, we were on vacation in Puerto Rico…







And there was this photo of the bud dog…

Thanks for all the wonderful memories, Timehop. 😀🦕❤️

Genifer made another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits for dinner tonight. This one was Chicken with Poblano Cream Sauce…


The pepitas in the delicious cream sauce added this amazing crunch to every bite. And it was another very delicious meal! We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. 😀🐔❤️

I’ve never noticed just how bright the sign for Aster on Fourth glowed…

Aster is one of our favorite bars downtown. 😀🌟❤️

We were pretty tired after yesterday’s Superb Owl. It was a really good game, and that’s all you can really ask for when your teams didn’t make it to The Big Game™. And there were some pretty good commercials too.
What I don’t understand is why they have to start the game at 6:30 on a Sunday night. Why not start the game at 3 or 4pm? I also don’t understand why The Big Game™ is even on Sunday. If they can play the wild card playoff games on Saturday, why can’t the Superb Owl can’t be on Saturday as well? I think there’s even a petition to move the Superb Owl to Saturday.
Well, we watched the game last night, and now we’re pretty tired today. We walked the dogs and just went to bed…


Good evening from the top of the hill at the end of our street in Northside. 😀🌄❤️

I’m playing Fantasy Basketball again this season…

Fifteen games into the season, I still have one undefeated team…

My God Shammgods team just lost their first match-up last week. And my other six teams all have winning records. 15-0, 2 teams at 14-1, 11-4, 10-5, 2 teams at 9-6 and an 8-7.
Fantasy basketball is pretty dang fun. 😀🏀❤️

It was gorgeous outside today for the second day of February. It was in the mid-60s and the sun was out. We took the dogs for a long walk this morning…


Later, we ran out to Walgreens to pick up a prescription where we saw this…

And on the way home, we stopped at Skyline to bring home lunch…

Genifer had a giant burrito…

I got three cheese coneys with extra mustard and no onions and a chilito…

And we shared a slice of red velvet cheesecake…

Later, we took the dogs on another long walk…

And had some snacks before The Big Game™…


Then we watched the Superb Owl. It was a pretty good game and a pretty auper Sunday. 😀🌄🐾🏈❤️

HAPPY SUPERB OWL SUNDAY! We don’t have a goat in the fight this year. But we do have something to watch for during this year’s Big Game. The agency I work for has a long history of creating memorable commercials for the Superb Owl. But usually, they are produced by Grey’s office in New York City.
But this year, our Grey Midwest office produced the first Superb Owl commercial to ever come from an ad agency in Cincinnati. It’s been a huge secret from months, but now the big news can finally be shared. And where I didn’t get to work on the Superb Owl ad directly, I think it’s pretty cool to be able to say that I work at an agency that created an ad for the world’s largest stage.
What the team at Grey Midwest made was a first of its kind interactive choose-your-own-adventure commercial where America will choose the final cut.
Visit WhenWeComeTogether.com to begin the adventure.

Make sure you create your favorite version of the commercial and keep an eye out for the final version during the fourth quarter of The Big Game this evening!
Pretty dang cool. 😀🦉🏈🏆📺❤️

And check out some of the best Super Bowl commercials of all time.

Happy Palindrome Day! A palindrome is when you read today’s date the same forward and backwards. Today is 02.02.2020. And no matter how you write today’s date, it’s going to be a palindrome…

For the first time in over 900 years, we have a very rare eight digit palindrome day! The last time this happened was 11.11.1111. An eight-digit ubiquitous palindrome date will happen only 11 times in the years between 1000 and 9999: (01.01.1010 – 1010 years ago, 11.11.11 – 909 years ago, 02.02.2020 – well, today, and 12.12.2121 – in 101 years.)
Whoa! It’s crazy that this is the first global palindrome day in 909 years, and that the next one won’t happen for another 101 years.
If that wasn’t enough for us nerds, it’s also the 33rd day of 2020 with 333 days to go.
😀🗓️❤️
