Three years ago.

Three years ago today, everyone was waking up to a world where the Chicago Cubs were finally World Series champions after 108 years…

GO CUBS GO! Thanks for the memories, Timehop! 😀🦕⚾️❤️

That reminds me, if you ever get the opportunity to watch Let’s Play Two, it’s terrific…

Let’s Play Two is a documentary that chronicles Pearl Jam’s legendary performance at Wrigley Field during the Chicago Cubs historic 2016 season. With Chicago being a hometown to Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam has forged a relationship with the city, the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field that is unparalleled in the world of sports and music.

It’s just an incredible film that made me fall in love with Pearl Jam all over again. And it does an amazing job of telling the story of the years of heartbreak to the elation of Cubs fans and mystique of Wrigley Field and how it all intertwines with Pearl Jam playing Wrigley Field during Cubs magical run to their World Series championship. That’s a wicked long run-on sentence but it’s just a great documentary that I ended up buying and watch probably once a week.

And while we’re talking about baseball during the non-baseball season, peep this…

It’s all the Cincinnati Reds Big Red Machine team shown through baseball cards framed on a baseball diamond organized by player position. I’ve never really seen anything like this and I just thought it was also really pretty neat.

Good evening from Northside.

Good evening from our backyard…

And good evening from the top of the hill at the end of our street…

Good evening from Northside. 😀🌄❤️

Taft’s Chicken Pesto.

After the football game, we stopped at Taft’s Brewpourium again. But this time instead of one of their delicious New Haven pizzas, I tried one of the Brewpourium’s Chicken Pesto sandwiches…

It was a really good sammich. Genifer had one of their terrific salads. And we shared some loaded tots…

We love Taft’s Brewpourium. 😀🐔🥗❤️

Are you ready for some football?

This afternoon, we hopped over to St. Bernard to watch our nephew, Liam play in the GCYL Division I Reserve Football League semi-final at Roger Bacon’s Bron Bacevich Memorial Stadium…

Liam’s St. Antoninus team won 28-6! And now they’re moving on to play for the Division I Reserve championship next weekend!

Congrats, Liam! 😀🏈❤️

Pumpkin patch pop-up.

We noticed there was another little pop-up pumpkin patch at the Montessori School atop the hill at the end of street this morning…

Oscar and Mack really seemed to enjoy sniffing all the pumpkins. I think they stopped to sniff each and every pumpkin. 😀🎃🐾❤️

It’s what you crave?

For whatever reason, two crave cases of White Castle cheeseburger sliders showed up at the office today around lunchtime…

I hadn’t had White Castle in years and years. Today, I had two little sliders…

They were pretty much exactly how I remember them. And now I can go years and years without having them again. 🤢🍔❤️

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Northside! Oscar could sense something amiss in the air…

It was time to break out Oscar’s dinosaur costume. We were happy that he got to wear his adorable dinosaur costume for a little bit…

These pictures really don’t show it but Oscar gets so mad when he has to wear his Halloween costume. We got a few photos and then it came right off. He wears his dinosaur costume just long enough to get a photo every year…

We tinkered briefly with the idea of handing out candy tonight. But it was sooo cold and sooo rainy that we decided to go to Taft’s Brewpourium to eat delicious pizza and BBQ chicken wings…

Going to Taft’s Brewpourium on Halloween is kind of becoming a yearly tradition. We did the same exact thing last year to have a Taft’s Gourd to Death…

Taft’s pizza is so delicious. Eating pizza was a much better idea than sitting out in the cold and rain, handing out candy to strangely dressed children. We sat there at Taft’s just stuffing our faces full of pizza and BBQ wings while we watched our birds-eye view of our street from our third-floor WyzeCam…

Not surprisingly, there weren’t a ton of people out and about. Thanks for all the great memories, Timehop! 😀🦕🍬🎃❤️

Staring out the window.

Just staring out the window this morning at Grey Midwest…

It’s not the best view but it’s also not the worst view. And it looked like it was a really pretty day outside. 😀🏙️❤️

#AgencyLife.

A decent portion of my job is working as part of an interdisciplinary team with our partner agencies within the WPP network for one of our bigger clients. The team I work with was all in Cincinnati this week for meetings. And tonight, we all went out to dinner at Mita’s on Fifth Street. It was good to get to put names with faces and have the opportunity to get to know everyone a little bit better…
