Christmas ornaments.

My parents sent me all of my Christmas ornaments from my childhood…

And they even included a new ornament for us…

All we need now is a Christmas tree to put them on. Thanks mom & dad! 🙂

Good morning from Northside.

When we were getting ready this morning, it looked like it was going to be another pretty morning. At least the sun was going to come out…

When I was walking Oscar, it turned out to be a really pretty morning…

Good morning from Northside. I’m really taken with just how pretty the sunrises are from our little street. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #3.

Tonight, we went to Cyclones hockey game #3 of the season at US Bank Arena…

The Cyclones scored as soon as we got into US Bank Arena. But for some reason the goal never made it to the scoreboard. It must have been disallowed for some reason…

Come to find out it was FC Cincinnati takeover night at tonight’s Cyclones game. There were a fair amount of FC Cincinnati supporters that descended upon US Bank Arena clad in Orange and Blue complete with drums and songs straight out of The Bailey…

Had we known, we’d have worn some our FC Cincinnati scarves…

That’s an impressive first period of work…

At the start of the second period, the ‘Clones trailed Fort Wayne 1-0…

And at the end of the second, it was still 1-0…

Our Cyclones selfie made the big board for the first time this season…

Twister joined forces with the FC Cincinnati contingent…

Fort Wayne added the empty netter at the end of the third period…

And the game would end 2-0 to Fort Wayne Komets

After the game, the Uber rates were kind of ridiculous for some reason. There’s no way the 1810 people in attendance at tonight’s game couldn’t have a surge like that. So we walked up to Igby’s on Sixth Street, and had a beer while we waited for the surge to return to normal…

We had a delicious Opera Cream Stout from Blank Slate

Before we could even finish our beer, the Uber rates had gone back to normal. Once we were ready, we got our Uber and headed from home. Win or lose, it was yet another great night of Cincinnati Cyclones hockey! 🙂

45,000.

This morning our 2008 VW GLI hit 45,000 miles

🙂

Good morning from Northside.

Good morning from Northside. 🙂

Seen & noted.

I got my haircut this afternoon, and it was raining in downtown Cincinnati. Thankfully, I could still walk through what little portion was left of the once great Cincinnati Skywalk. Once I got over to Sixth Street, I made it almost all the way over to Queen City Square on Fourth Street. It doesn’t sound like a big deal but the Skywalk saved me having to walk four and a half blocks outside… in the rain. Also on my way to get my haircut, I passed by a bunch of pretty Christmas trees in the lobbies of the various buildings. In the OmniCare building…

And in Queen City Square…

Walking back to work, I noticed that they had hung all the holiday decorations in P&G Gardens

I don’t really miss living downtown. But I do miss walking through P&G Gardens and Lytle Park every day. They were a couple of my little happy places downtown. 🙂

A foggy morning.

It was very foggy this morning in downtown Cincinnati. I love it when the tops of the buildings disappear into the foggy sky. 🙂

Habañero Burrito Monday.

Today seemed like a perfect day for another Habañero Burrito Monday…

We love Habañero’s Burrito Mondays. We got two huge burritos with chips and salsa for just $11.50. You can’t beat that. It makes dinner sooo easy. The burritos are enormous and really delicious. And I really dig their chips and salsa too. 🙂

Another grey Sunday.

Today, we went over to The Westside to celebrate Genifer’s brother’s birthday. Later, we took Oscar for a walk up the hill at the end of our street. It was another pretty grey and rainy Sunday today…

🙂

Redsfest 2016.

It was Redsfest 2016 Saturday at Duke Energy Convention Center. This is the third straight year we’ve been to Redsfest (2014 and 2015). We always enjoy walking around Redsfest. It’s just a really fun event…

As soon as we walked in, we ran into Reds pitcher Raisel Iglesias…

Did you notice how awesome his shoes were? Both Genifer and I want a pair of those!

And we met the Louisville Bats mascot, Buddy Bat

We saw Reds pitcher Michael Lorenzen…

And we saw Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart in the same place we saw him at last year’s Redsfest

A Lego exhibit is coming to the Louisville Slugger Museum in Kentucky…

We saw Reds favorite Corky Miller…

There was a taco cooking contest going on…

We got these awesome Redsfest draw-string backpacks…

We stopped and listened to The Mistics…

As we were leaving Redsfest, we ran into Reds outfielder Scott Schebler…

It was another great Redsfest. It’s always such a fun event to wander around. 🙂

Afterwards, we stopped at Americano for some guacamole, BBQ chicken wings and onion rings. It was a wonderful end to a great afternoon downtown.
