Happy National Spaghetti Day!

We celebrated National Spaghetti Day a couple of delicious ways from Skyline Chili, a five way for Genifer and a three way for me…

YUM! #ItsSkylineTime 🙂

Downtown details.

Back to the grind. The tower crane was back to doing tower crane things…

Donald Deskey was all bundled up because it’s cold outside, and the heat wasn’t working on the first floor this morning. And that means, it’s cold inside too.

The view from my office window…

Here’s this remnant doo-hickey in our building’s lobby that we pass every day…

And last night must have been the final night of the green tiara atop the Great American Tower for this holiday season…

Because on our Oscar walk this evening, the tiara was glowing white again.
Booooring. 🙂

Winter wonderland?

We were supposed to get our first snowstorm overnight. Last night before falling asleep, Genifer said she saw it snowing. When we woke up this morning, we had snow.

Just not very much of it. At all…

This was the most accumulation I could find on our walk this morning…

So much for our first snow storm. But it sure is cold. Brrr. :/

Fantasy Football Champion!

I won the championship in one of the Fantasy Football leagues I was in this season…

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the league I was in at work with decent money on the line. Oh well. I guess you can’t win that every year. It’s still a Fantasy Football championship two years in a row!

I had eight teams in various fantasy leagues this season. I won one championship and had one runner-up. Two third-place finishes, a fourth, two fifths and an appalling seventh-place finish at work rounded out the season. All the leagues were either 10 or 12 team competitions. The injuries to Jamal Charles, Arian Foster, Julian Edelman, Alshon Jeffery and a pretty subpar season by Matt Ryan really did me it at work. Ugh. And ugh. But championships or not, fantasy football actually makes the NFL season interesting to me and more entertaining for me, and I think that’s what it’s all about. But winning championships doesn’t hurt either. 🙂

Christmas carnage, part 1.

The holidays are just barely over, and people have already started discarding their Christmas trees like yesterday’s news. Welcomed into your home, decorated, adored, celebrated and then kicked to the curb. It’s kind of sad really. When we were on our dog walk this morning, we noticed the first trees out by the recycling bins on the New Street sidewalk…

And there was another one added to collection this evening…

Poor Christmas trees. 😦

Pause for paws.

This morning Oscar was reflecting perfectly my mood this Sunday morning by being quite the little sleepy head…

And when we laid down to go to sleep at night, Oscar climbed right up on one of the pillows next to me, and slept there next to my head with his head on my shoulder for most of the night…

He’s a pretty silly but very cute little dog. And it was another lazy Sunday. 🙂

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year from downtown Cincinnati!
We rang in the new year at Nicholson’s. Again. It’s become somewhat of a tradition. There’s never a cover on New Year’s Eve, and we’ve been lucky enough to belly up to the bar…

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year’s Eve! 🙂

Our Swarm Year in Review.

Six years ago today, I found a little app called Foursquare. And I loved my Foursquare. The check-in game portion of Foursquare spun off and became was is now Swarm. So in honor of it being my Foursquare/Swarm birthday today, I thought I would proudly present our Swarm Year in Review…

We love doing our check-ins everyday on Swarm. This year I had 5677 check-ins, spent a lot of time in the Parks category and checked-in at P&G Gardens a whopping 346 times! The most popular check-in spot for me. Genifer had 1372 check-ins, also spent a lot of time at Parks and checked-in at Great American Ball Park a massive 66 times, her most popular spot! We both unlocked 32 new stickers. And both of our favorite sticker to use was, not surprisingly, Suds McGee. I earned coins 13914 to Genifer’s 4890 coins. Also not surprisingly was that Genifer was my check-in BFF with 961 check-ins together, and that I was hers with 914 check-ins together.

If you haven’t got in on the silly, yet rather pointless fun that is Swarm, click here to download Swarm now for your mobile device. 🙂

Back to Americano.

We went back to Americano Burger Bar tonight to try some of their wings…

We got them with the house rub. And they were amazing!

And of course, we had to share an Americano burger…

Delicious. Definitely, one of the best burgers downtown. Hands down. On the way home, we said hello to the Carew Tower…

Taken with Instagram. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #7.

It seems like it’s been forever and a day since we’ve been to our last Cyclones hockey game. They’ve been out of town for the last couple of weeks, and we’ve been longing for some hockey. Tonight, we got to go to our seventh hockey game of the season down at US Bank Arena…

We were really surprised at just how many people were at the game tonight…

At the end of the first, the Cyclones trailed the Fuel 2-1…

It started getting pretty scrappy…

At the end of the season, the Cyclones now trailed 3-1…

Win or lose, the Cyclones games are always really fun. 🙂
