Today was the annual Deskey holiday luncheon…
We had roast beast and mashed potatoes catered in for lunch…
Delicious stuff! My contribution to the Deskey white elephant gift exchange was this silly cute Starbucks barista bear and a $10 Starbucks gift card…
I ended up with a pet rock shaped like a turtle. 
How adorable were these cookies…
It was another really fun afternoon at a great company. 🙂

Tonight was Deskey’s holiday party at The Frock in Covington…
After the party, we stopped at Braxton Brewing Company for a beer. It was a great night celebrating the holidays with some really great people. 🙂

Today, we had our Thanksgiving Potluck at work…
It was quite the spread with some really delicious flavors. 🙂

To celebrate their car passing over 200,000 miles on the odometer and not having any more car payments, Becky and Bob generously bought all of Deskey lunch from at Pizzeria Locale, a new Chipotle-style chain pizza joint in Kenwood…
It was really good stuff! Pizzeria Locale was having a promotion today where if you mentioned UpSpring (a non-profit that works to keep Greater Cincinnati children experiencing homelessness connected to their education), the organization received 50%. And the pizza pie was delicious too! That’s what I call a win-win! 😁🙌🍕

It feels like it’s been forever in the making. There were all the politics and then the construction, awaiting the arrival of the cars, then putting them on the rails and driving around for months on end without any passengers. But starting on September 9th, you’ll actually be able to ride the Cincinnati Streetcar, ahem… Cincinnati Bell Connector around downtown and Over-the-Rhine. This morning Deskey got an informative crash-course in Streetcar safety from the City of Cincinnati…
They also showed a bunch of super cute videos. I’m not even going to lie, I was initially very skeptical about the whole idea of the Streetcar. I thought it was an awful lot of money for a route that people could very easily bike or walk. But like they say, if you can’t beat them, join ’em. I’m excited to ride the Streetcar because it expands my lunch options exponentially. It’ll be pretty cool to be able to hop on one of these guys to ride up to Findlay Market, Taft’s Ale House or down to The Banks to get lunch…
And who knows maybe some day before we’re old and grey, the Cincinnati Streetcar
CB Connector will connect Northside and downtown. But I’m not holding my breath. 🙂

Deskey lets us work just a half-day every other Friday throughout the summer. They call it Summer Hours. And it’s pretty flippin’ awesome. Today was my first Summer Hours Friday, and it looked like this outside as I was leaving work…
So we went out to Eastgate to look at Best Buy for washers and dryers. And by the time we got over there, wouldn’t you know it? The sun was back out, and it was gorgeous outside. Along the way, we stopped at Five Guys for lunch…
I’ve only eaten at Five Guys one other time. It’s really not a bad burger, at all. And then we went to Jungle Jim’s to look for Jamaican Jerk spices and rubs…
We’re going to figure this Jerk Chicken out one way or another…
After Jungle Jim’s, we stopped by Mount Carmel Brewing for a beer…
When got home, we took Oscar out for a walk…
It turned out to be a really beautiful evening…
We were going to walk over to Fountain Square to listen to the Indie Summer bands but I nodded off watching the Reds and the Copa America Centenario soccer tournament. All in all, it was a pretty good first Summer Hours Friday. 🙂

This afternoon was our annual Deskey White Elephant gift exchange…
There was a fajita bar for the occasion…
And it was some pretty delicious stuff!
Our fearless leader, Studer Claus…
I ended up with a portrait of Bob from finance, and giant Snoopy Pez dispenser…
Our creative director has been collecting these Christmas mice…
He said he has over 40 of them…
It was another pretty fun and funny afternoon party at Deskey.
We work hard. And we play hard. 🙂

Tonight was Deskey’s holiday party at Rhinegeist in Over-the-Rhine. We walked up to Washington Park to check out December’s edition of The City Flea before the party got underway. On our way walking up to Washington Park, we were passed by the Holiday Bright Ride…
It was ridiculous just how many people were at Washington Park for The City Flea and the lighting of the Washington Park holiday tree. It was hard to even move. So we packed it in pretty quickly, and grabbed an Uber from in front of Music Hall up Elm Street to Rhinegeist…
There was a big cornhole tournament…
We didn’t compete. We aren’t very good at cornhole. At all. And just like at work, I’m the wearer of many hats…
We were pretty blown away with just how big Rhingeist was inside…
It was a great party. We were really glad we went. 🙂
