Pause for paws.

Seen and noted.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber was in town today for a whirlwind day tour of Cincinnati to see the city and learn more about the hype surrounding FC Cincinnati…

The most noteworthy part of the whole visit was a town hall meeting held at OtR’s Woodward Theatre emceed by ESPN commentator and analyst Taylor Twellman. We watched the town hall meeting on FC Cincinnati’s YouTube channel. It seemed that MLS and Don Garber were definitely impressed and taking note of the movement that is happening in Cincinnati. And that Cincinnati is very much being short-listed and strongly considered for future MLS expansion. ORANGE AND BLUE PRESS had a great post with photos about Don Garber’s visit to Cincinnati

All I know is it was an incredible inaugural first season and we can’t wait to see what happens in 2017!

Deskey Thanksgiving Potluck.

Today, we had our Thanksgiving Potluck at work…

It was quite the spread with some really delicious flavors. 🙂

An oddly foggy morning.

As we were driving down Sycamore Street, we noticed a really funny cloud of fog…

It was an odd fog. As we got closer, it looked like it was just around P&G Gardens. Genifer said when she was on the Big Mac Bridge crossing the Ohio River the fog was crazy. She said you couldn’t see anything but the bridge. But once she got over the bridge into Kentucky, the fog was just gone. It was an odd fog. 🙂

Neuf Asian Eatery.

Sometime last week, the owners of Huit Craft BBQ closed up shop on Court Street and moved to their new location over on Main Street just a block south of where I work. Their new place is called Neuf Asian Eatery. I always thought Huit was really good stuff (really good) so this afternoon I decided to give Neuf a try for a late lunch

I ordered their battered chicken stir fry lunch plate with Cantonese classic brown sauce with steamed Jasmine rice…

And I tried the one of the most difficult to pronounce dishes on the menu, Xiao Long Bao dumplings. They’re pork and shrimp steamed dumplings Shanghai style with ginger soy sauce. And they were out of this world!

It was a really, really outstanding lunch, even though I ordered way too much food!
I’ll definitely be back to Neuf very soon and often! 🙂

Constructing Cincinnati.

I think the new apartment building atop the the new parking garage at the corner of Sycamore and Eighth Streets downtown has finally reached it’s pinnacle…

Between Sycamore Place, Seven at Broadway, East 8th Lofts, Renaissance and this building, that’s a lot of pretty pricey apartments in this little corner of downtown. It was fun to live downtown but I’m really thrilled we have our house. :\

Cyclones hockey game #2.

Tonight, we had tickets to our second Cyclones hockey game of the season at US Bank Arena…

We got to US Bank Arena right as the puck was dropping…

And just a couple of minutes after we were in out seats, the Cyclones took a one-nothing lead…

And the ‘Clones made it 2-0 just a few minutes later…

And that’s the way the period would end, 2-0 to the Cyclones…

3-0!

And the ‘Clones took a 4-0 lead! One more goal combined with a Cyclones win and we get free pizza!

After Reading pulled a goal back, the Cyclones netted their fifth goal of the game…

We stepped away to get a beer and use the restroom, when we got back to our seats, the score was now 5-3…

Ugh. 5-4…

The Cyclones tacked on another goal to extend the lead to 6-4…

Two goals down, the Royals pulled their goalie…

And right on cue, the Cyclones capitalized to net their 7th goal of the game…

And that’s how the game would end, 7-4 to our Cyclones!

It was another great evening of Cyclones hockey at US Bank Arena! We can’t wait to get our free pizza from Donato’s in the next couple of days!

Cyclones hockey game #1.

Tonight, we had tickets to our first Cyclones hockey game of the season

We hopped on the Metro 17 bus from Northside…

And in no time, we were down at US Bank Arena…

It was good to be back at US Bank Arena…

The view from our 12-game season ticket seats is pretty nice…

LET’S PLAY HOCKEY!

There were plenty of good seats still available…

At the end of the first period, the ‘Clones were up 2-0 on the Quad City Mallards…

The Cyclones got a new “zamboni” from that chicken place. The Twister, Porkchop and some fans ride around the ice for a couple of laps and throw out a few t-shirts. But strangely, no new ice is actually laid down…

And then the actual zambonis come out and resurface the ice. Back to hockey…

At the end of the second, it was 3-1 Cyclones…

And the Cyclones won 4-1!

We took an Uber home after the game, and our Uber bill was just 13¢ thanks to a $10 credit we had from last weekend. It was a great surprise ending to a great evening of Cyclones hockey! 🙂
