It kind of figures that 2020 is going out with a gloomy, overcast day…
Good morning from Northside…
We ran over to Trader Joe’s this morning to pick up a few things…
We used one of our Trader Joe’s gift cards…
Thanks, mom & dad!
Trader Joe’s has the best taco sauce. Last time we were at TJ’s, they were all sold out of taco sauce. Thankfully, today they restocked and there was plenty…
Did we mention we had a Trader Joe’s gift card?
Trader Joe’s was having an employee gingerbread house contest…
This one was my favorite…
Ha. This is fine. And then we went to Biggby to get New Years Eve coffee…
Mack was all crashed out in our studio office…
We walked over to Northside Tavern for a couple of New Years Eve drinks…
It was nice to get out of the house for a bit and have some fun. On our walk home, we stopped by Kitchen Factory to get a couple of slices…
And our slices didn’t even make it home. We ate them while we were walking and they were deliciousβ¦
We took the dogs around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
Our plan we to stay up to watch the ball drop on TV. But we nodded off on our sofa. I woke up a couple of minutes before midnight. Genifer had already gone upstairs. I let the dogs out in the backyard just as the clock hit midnight. A whole bunch of cheers and noise makers could be as the clock struck midnight. And then there were some firework popped up all over the sky. And my cameras were on the dining table because I was just going to let the dogs out before heading upstairs. Oh well. I’m just happy that we can get a fresh start in the morning.
We hope everyone had a happy and safe New Years Eve. ππβοΈπΎπ»ππππβ€οΈ

MERRY CHRISTMAS! It was a chilly Christmas in Cincinnati…
And we woke up to a white Christmas…
We got the dogs a bunch of new dog toys and blankets for Christmas…
I took a little video of the dogs coming in from outside to discover all their new toys…
And now the dogs have a very full box of toys…
After the dogs got to play with their toys for a bit, we took them out on their walk…
Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made Magic Middles for breakfast this morning…
Magic Middles are delicious…
After breakfast, we opened our presents and exchanged our gifts. My parents sent us this hilarious 2020 ornament…
A huge thank you so much to my mom & dad for all our wonderful Christmas gifts…
There was a bit of debate over this advent calendar…
I thought we should start at one, count along with the days and end on twenty-five. Genifer thought we should start on twenty-five and countdown to one and end on the star. And you can see who won that debate…
This afternoon we headed up to West Chester to celebrate Christmas with Geri. We took some shrimps, a meat & cheese tray, a whole bunch of dippers and that was our Christmas dinner. We had a wonderful time spending the afternoon with her.
When we got home, we took the dogs around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
After the dog’s were done with the freezing cold walk, we watched a bunch of basketball and called it a day. We had a really wonderful Christmas day. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas as well. ππβ€οΈ

Good morning from Northside…
This morning we ran out to get some Christmas Eve Eve Biggby coffee…
We ran around a little bit to do some last minute Christmas shopping…
We got some odds and ends stuff. And a bunch of new dog toys for Oscar & Mack. I also got Mack a new dog bed and Snoopy blanket to go in our studio office where he sleeps a lot. I snuck his new bed upstairs while he was outside…
I showed him his new dog bed and he pretty much spent the rest of the day lounging on it…
While I was hanging out in the studio office with Mack, I decided to check out day 23 of my Lego City Advent Calendar…
I think he really likes his new dog bed…
Later, we had a NYPD Pizza hoagie party….
NYPD hoagies are so good. And their fries were even better than normal tonight.
We dragged Mack off his new dog bed to take the dogs around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
After he got his treats, Mack was right back upstairs, crashed out on his new dog bed…
This evening, we finished the second season of Mindhunter on Netflix. It was a really good series. We hope they get around to making a third season someday. But it probably won’t be anytime soon.
And Mack was still sleeping on his new dog bed…
We hope everyone had a Happy Merry Christmas Eve Eve! ππποΈπΎπ₯ͺπβ€οΈ
Oh. I also thought these drawings from @crazyheadcomics & @wearyourvoice were really beautiful…
It just reaffirms how blessed we are and how good we have it this Christmas Eve Eve.

Happy Palindrome Day! A palindrome is when you read today’s date the same forward and backwards. Today is 02.02.2020. And no matter how you write today’s date, it’s going to be a palindrome…
For the first time in over 900 years, we have a very rare eight digit palindrome day! The last time this happened was 11.11.1111. An eight-digit ubiquitous palindrome date will happen only 11 times in the years between 1000 and 9999: (01.01.1010 – 1010 years ago, 11.11.11 – 909 years ago, 02.02.2020 – well, today, and 12.12.2121 – in 101 years.)
Whoa! It’s crazy that this is the first global palindrome day in 909 years, and that the next one won’t happen for another 101 years.
If that wasn’t enough for us nerds, it’s also the 33rd day of 2020 with 333 days to go.
