My parents got us a Ring Video Doorbell 2 for Christmas and it arrived last week…
And this evening, we installed it on our front porch. The installation was pretty dang easy and it looks good by our front door…
When we got back from our dog walk, I pointed it out to Mack…
And it looks even better in the daylight…
Now we can take photos from our front porch too…
Thanks, mom&dad! We really like our new Ring doorbell. 😀🚪📷❤️

This afternoon we met Geri and CAP (Cleve-Alyssa-Pippa) at Taft’s Brewpourium for some pizza. Genifer organized a family Ugly Sweater party. So we all wore our best ugly sweaters. I wish I would have had someone take a photo of all of us together. But I didn’t. Thankfully, Genifer got these photos…
Taft’s was also hosting a pop-up Christmas mart. We got some delicious spicy pickles. There was a lot of cute stuff but nothing was cuter than this adorable baby Yoda…
Taft’s Brewpourium is always delicious and fun. 😀🍕🍺🛍️❤️

Grey Midwest rented out all of 16-Bit Bar+Arcade in OtR for our Holiday Party…
I didn’t take many photos at the holiday party at all. But it was really fun. I’m glad we went. There was all sorts of amazing little foods, lotsa drinks, some socializing and a whole bunch of button smashing. We beat the Final Fight video game. We played some Spy Hunter and a bunch of Rampage. Rampage was my jam back on Sega Genesis. I’m a little bummed I didn’t get to play any Dig Dug. A while back we were out with a friend of ours, and she had never heard of Mortal Kombat. Can you believe that? It’s crazy. There were like three Mortal Kombat games and even a couple of movies. Anyway, there was Mortal Kombat 3 right there…
We stayed at the party until it ended. After the party, we dodged the raindrops to walk around the corner to Longfellow’s Other Room for a couple of rum cocktails…
So. Much. Rum…
And then we hopped in an Uber and headed home. It turned out to be another pretty fun Friday night out in Over-the-Rhine. 😀👾🥃❤️

I stumbled across this online somewhere…
Random thought: How glorious would the internet be if you took out all the arguments over stupid stuff? And if everyone was just nice, supportive and tried to lift each other up instead of hurling insults at one another and trying to tear each other down?
It’ll never happen but it’s a nice dream. 😀🤫❤️

This afternoon I got to celebrate the holidays at 302 with festive fun! The company that manages 302 West 3rd Street hosted a lunch catered by Out of Thyme…
There were Chicken Cordon Bleu sammiches (roasted chicken breast, applewood smoked bacon, swiss cheese, horseradish mustard on side), salad and broccoli cheddar soup…
The little sammiches were really good and broccoli cheddar soup is my favorite. And there’s nothing I love more than free lunch. 😀🥪❤️

Remembering our first Christmas tree in our new house three years ago…
It looked so tall when we picked it out. And four years ago, when it was so ridiculously warm for our Holiday Party at Rhinegeist…
Thanks for the memories, Timehop. 😀🦕❤️

There was an almost full moon tonight. According to my main moon app, it said the moon was a 99.4% full moon tonight. But my other moon phase app said it was only 98% full. Either way, the moon was really big and bright tonight…
Goodnight moon. 😀🌕🌝❤️

It was back to work today after being off yesterday. And we had an NYPD Pizza party tonight! On the way home from work, we stopped to grab some carry-out pizzas from NYPD. We each got a little personal pizza because Genifer wanted just cheese and I wanted some toppings tonight…
The toppings are hidden under all that delicious cheese. NYPD pizza sure is delicious!
😀🍕❤️

After getting in some morning holiday shopping, this afternoon we headed downtown to Over-the-Rhine’s next-door neighbor, Pendleton to check out the brand new BrewDog Cincinnati taproom…
In April 2007, in a godforsaken industrial estate in northeast Scotland, BrewDog came howling into the world. BrewDog has two breweries. The original is in Aberdeen, Scotland and the other is in Columbus, Ohio. The Cincinnati taproom just opened…
Two hours south of our American HQ we opened an 8,500 sq ft beer mecca. With 24 taps of craft beer glory, a mezzanine chock full of games, and a beer school space for everything beer geekery, BrewDog Cincinnati is THE place to experience craft beer in The Queen City.
We’ve tried a few of the BrewDog beers before here and there. BrewDog was a guest at the HIgher Gravity Meet the Brewer on two different occasions…
The inside is huuuuge…
We started with a Choco-Libre and a Jet Black Heart…
The Choco Libre is a Mexican-spiced hot chocolate infused imperial stout. And Jet Black Heart is a 4.7% milk stout, loaded with oatmeal. Both beers were really outstanding!
We shared their $6 Tuesday burger special…
Terrific burger. I don’t know how someone could take down one of these monsters without any help. And the fries were great too. After finishing, we also tried one of their beer slushies (it was kinda weird), and an outstanding Renegade chocolate and peanut butter buckeye white stout…
And Genifer bought me one share of stock in BrewDog…
Now we get 5% off our tab and a whole bunch of other cool benefits. Before we left, I went up to take a peek at BrewDog’s upstairs game area…
BrewDog Beer School…
It’s such an awesome space…
I have a feeling we’ll be coming back to BrewDog a lot. After all, we own part of the bar! 😀🍺🐶🍔🍟❤️
