Nine years ago today.

Genifer and I went on our very first date. We went to a Reds game. We sat out by Jay Bruce, and saw Aroldis Chapman close out the Reds win…

Oh, the butterflies I had at that game. It took me six innings just to put my arm around her seat at the game. Afterward, we walked up to Mainstay Rock Bar to see Bad Veins…

It was one of the best evenings of my life because of the incredible woman I got to spend it with. 3,285 evenings later, and I still get butterflies every day. Thank you for spending the last nine years with me, Genifer. I love so so very much. And I’m glad we have every one of them all chronicled right here. 🥰⚾😍

My Swarm 2019 year in review.

Ten years ago today, I started using Foursquare which eventually spawned a little spin-off app called Swarm…

I got my Swarm 2019 year in review this morning…

I love stuff like this. I just think it’s pretty neat. And I still really love my check-ins on Swarm! 😀⭐️❤️

My Untappd 2019 year in beer.

Untappd also put out a year-end recap, 2019 year in beer. This is Genifer’s…

And here is mine…

These were my numbers from 2018…

These recaps are always interesting to me. The full version on Untappd had much more detailed information. It was pretty cool. For example, we checked-in beers at 43 unique venues in five states…

Untappd said we also checked in beers at 25 breweries this year…

Thanks, Untappd! 😀🍻❤️

Ten years ago.

Ten years ago today, I signed up with WordPress. After Milan passed away, I migrated all of our blog posts starting with our very first date from Blogger to WordPress…

Almost 5,000 blog posts later, our blog is still going strong. I love it because it gives us a searchable database of literally everything we’ve done together since our first date.

And I think that’s pretty darn awesome. Thanks for making blogging so easy, WordPress! 😀⌨️📷❤️

Poor Mack.

This morning we dropped Mack off our vet in College Hill…

He’s had a really bad ear infection. He had to be put under so they could clean his ears and while he was under they also surgically trimmed his nails. When we got home, he was really under the weather. I think was still feeling the effects of the anesthetic and the pain medicine. I carried him upstairs and laid him on his new dog bed but he moved and just laid in the middle of the floor for the rest of the night…

Hopefully, he’ll feel better and be back to his old self very soon. 😀🐾❤️

It’s Skyline time!

Genifer had to go into work for a little bit this morning. When she got home, we headed over to Skyline in St. Bernard for some Skyline Time! It’s been a minute since we last had Skyline time. I got a Skyline gift card for Christmas but wouldn’t you know I left it on our dining room table…

Mmmm… Cheese coneys and chili cheese sammiches are so good. YUM! 😀🧀🌭❤️

Fantasy football wrap-up.

I played fantasy football again this season…

36496598773_1944734904_o

I really went overboard with the drafts back before the season started. I wound up with a whopping ten teams this season. That’s twice as many as last year. I ended up with a combined record of 84-46 for the season. The majority of my teams did pretty well with seven of my ten teams making the playoffs. And I ended up winning the championship in four of my ten leagues. My Giant Foam Fingers marched through the regular season undefeated. And they were one of my teams that won their championship, capping off a perfect season! I’ve never had a perfect season in fantasy football before…

Here’s my undefeated lineup from the final championship weekend…

My starting QB was Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson. So it was a little nerve-racking when the Ravens sat him for the final game of the season. Thankfully, I had Drew Breese stashed away for an emergency. Here are my other championship teams…

So once again, I can call myself a fantasy football champion. I think fantasy football is so much fun. It makes the football season really interesting and enjoyable, especially when you’re winning. 😀🏈🏆❤️
