It looks a lot like Christmas.

When I got to work this morning, the lobby of 302 West Third was beautifully decorated for the holidays…

Later, I ran out to get something for lunch and stopped to admire the tree in the atrium at the Westin Hotel across from Fountain Square…

And the tree in Carew Tower…

I was walking in what was left of downtown Cincinnati’s Skywalk and noticed that the escalators in Carew Tower that were always broken had been replaced with stairs…

And the Hyatt Regency had a pretty tree too…

On my way to the bus after work, I stopped to admire the holiday window display at Bromwell’s on Fourth Street…

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Cincinnati. 😀🎄🎅❤️

Thanks, Timehop!

Look how pretty the sky over Northside was one year ago…

And I captured this photo back when lived downtown…

Thanks for the memories, Timehop. 😀🦕❤️

Unranked to #4.

After winning the Battle 4 Atlantis, Michigan jumped all the way to number 4…

Who has it better than us?! GO BLUE! 😀〽️🏀🏆❤️

Undefeated.

My Giant Foam Fingers finished the fantasy football regular season undefeated in fantasy football…

I think that’s the first time I’ve ever had a fantasy football team go undefeated. Hopefully, they can continue winning in the playoffs. And, Seven of my ten teams made the playoffs. Fantasy football is pretty fun. 😀🏈🏆❤️

Pause for paws.

It’s Advent Calendar season! We got the both of the dogs their own Advent calendars…

I doubt Oscar knows what Advent is, but I know he really likes any sort of treats…

I was going to take photos of him eating his first Advent treat but they were gone too fast. I don’t know that he even chewed them…

Oscar loves his treats. 😀🎄🐾❤️

Also, it’s crazy that it’s already December 1st.

Checking in on the OscarCams.

Oscar was sleeping on the sofa. We love seeing what Oscar is up to on the OscarCams. We were all pretty lazy for the rest of the day. 😀🐾📷❤️

Pizza King pizza for the win!

This afternoon we hung out at home with my parents, ate delicious Pizza King pizza…

And watched Michigan Hoops compete in the Battle 4 Atlantis basketball tournament in the Bahamas. Yesterday, unranked Michigan knocked-off #6, North Carolina…

Oddly enough, Michigan beat North Carolina one year ago to the day. On November 28th 2019, the 7th-ranked Wolverines stormed back from an early double-digit deficit to beat the No. 11 Tar Heels 84-67 Wednesday in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Michigan forward Ignas Brazdeikis led all scorers with 24 points for the Wolverines.

Today, Michigan was playing #8, Gonzaga in the championship game…
