Our Halloween.
Halloween should’ve been perfect this year. It fell on a Saturday, with a full moon and with daylight savings time everyone got an extra hour of sleep the next day. But unfortunately, 2020 had other ideas.
Halloween got off to a very frosty start…
Good morning from Northside…
And for the first time this fall, we had to scrape our windows this morning…
After the windows defrosted, we ran over to the grocery…
And then it was on to Mad Llama for Saturday morning Halloween coffee…
After Michigan State shocked Michigan, we rolled over to Taft’s Brewpourium for a delicious pizza dinner…
As we were walking across the parking lot, a train was rolling by…
Taft’s had a Halloween special this weekend…
We had a Maple vs Amburana double imperial stout before we ordered….
While we drank our beer, we watched our street view WyzeCam to see if there were many trick-or-treaters out and about…
And it looked like there were a few on our street…
There’s our cotton candy….
And there’s our pizzas…
After we devoured our delicious pizza, we took the dogs on a walk and couldn’t help but admire the Halloween full moon…
Good evening from Northside…
All things considered, we had a pretty good Halloween. 😀🌄🍕🎃❤️

Happy Halloween Eve.
Tomorrow is Halloween. There will still be trick-or-treating but still, it just won’t be the same with the COVID raging, will it? Who would have thought that all the way back in the middle of March that the number of pandemic cases would be still be accerlating eight months later at Halloween?
But at least it’s Friday…
And guess what, it’s also still grey and overcast. So, yeah.
Good morning from Northside…
Genifer made some delicious cookies…
The blue skies were trying to peek through the clouds…
Good evening from Northside…
We ate oven pizzas for dinner…
The skies were starting to clear…
Maybe it’ll actually be nice for Halloween tomorrow…
Tonight, we watched Maleficent on Disney+. It’s hard to believe that we’d never seen it before. But it was really good. It was great way to wind down our Halloween Eve.
Happy Halloween Eve! 😀🌄☁️🍪🍕🐾📺❤️

This is the way.
The new season of The Mandalorian starts streaming today on Disney+…
To say I’m really excited is an understatement. 😳📺🚀❤️

Long lines everywhere.
We got up early this morning and dodged the raindrops to get over to the Hamilton County Board of Elections. We figured since it was really rainy this morning that there wouldn’t be many people in line to vote early…
And holy geez, were we ever wrong…
Those are terrible photos taken from our car but the line stretched the entire length of the building and started down the side. We decided not to wait in line in the rain. I did get to drop my absentee ballot off in the drop box. So at least we accomplished something this morning…
Afterward, we stopped at Biggby for coffee and there was a long line there as well…
But there wasn’t anyone inside Biggby…
We like Biggby. A lot.
It was still rainy this evening…
Good evening from Northside…
Even with all this rain over the last few days, our basement is still completely dry…
We had oven sausages and sweet potatoes for dinner tonight…
I really love sausages and sweet potatoes.
Our new plan for getting Genifer’s vote counted is just to get to our polling place as early as we can on Tuesday. Hopefully the lines won’t be too long. Finger crossed again. 😀🌄🌧️🗳️🤞❤️

Oscar says, “Hello from Northside.”
Looking at the sunrise this morning, I thought the sun might actually break through the clouds. And maybe it would be a pretty nice day…
But it’s still grey this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
Oscar came into the studio to visit me while I was working this afternoon…
Hi Oscar! And guess what? It was still grey this evening…
Good evening from Northside…
And good evening from our backyard…
It’s supposed to be rainy again tomorrow morning. Our plan is to try to be in line over at the Hamilton County Board of Elections before it opens at 8am so Genifer can vote early and I can drop off my absentee ballot.
Fingers crossed. 😀🌄☁️🤞❤️

Tuesdays are grey too?
This morning looked just like yesterday morning, grey and rainy…
For dinner tonight, Genifer made this buffalo chicken pasta…
Omigosh. It was soooo good. It was just the right amount of spicy. We had garlic bread with our buffalo chicken pasta. And I love garlic bread.
Then it was back for another walk. And it was still grey and rainy…
Good evening from Northside…
We watched a few more episodes of The Queen’s Gambit tonight.
On the iPad, I watched the Dodgers buy themselves a World Series title. I mean, they had the best team that money could buy. Spared no expense. In my opinion, this season and this World Series should always have an asterisk next to it. But that might be because I just really dislike the Dodgers. They’re like the Yankees of the West. Only without all the championships. 😀🌄❤️

Why are Mondays always so grey?
It was another Monday morning. And it was another grey and rainy morning. Why are Mondays always so grey and rainy?
Good morning from Northside…
Mack and Oscar were waiting for postwalk treats…
The Pad Thai we had last week was so good that I got this Pad Thai for lunch when we were at the grocery…
The noodles were good. But the flavor definitely wasn’t Pad Thai. It was just Asiany noodles. The flavor was kind of odd, actually. I don’t think I would get these noodles again. At least this flavor.
And for dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Margarita Chicken with garlic Parmesan zucchini…
And then with the pesto added on top of the chicken…
And it was another delicious dinner. The chicken was so cheesy and the pesto on top of it was great. The Parmesan zucchini was just out of this world good. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
It started really sprinkling while we were on our walk this evening…
Good evening from Northside…
Tonight, we started The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix. We’re just a couple of episodes in and it’s pretty good so far. 😀🌄🍜🌧️📺❤️

Nice! You have a reward.
Good morning from Northside…
This afternoon we ordered pizza from Taft’s Brewpourium. And we had accumulated some rewards…
Omigosh! Look at our Taft’s Brewpourium pizza feast…
I’m pretty sure Taft’s is my favorite pizza is all of Cincinnati. It’s so good.
Oscar was telling us it’s time to go on our evening walk…
And when we were walking the dogs, we noticed this…
That’s pretty darn creepy.
Good evening from Northside…
We hung this guy out on our back porch…
This afternoon I had to knock out a few things for work while I listened to Arsenal lose 1-0 to Leicester, and then we watched the Bengals come up short against the Browns.
This evening, we watched the Dodgers win the World Series. It’s a bummer. It would have been so neat for Tampa Bay teams to win the Stanley Cup and the World Series. This season will always have asterisk next to it for me. The Dodgers were the best team that money could buy over the course of a pandemic-shortened 60-game season. Personally, I liked it much better when the Dodgers would spend all that money year after year and and then come up short. That was great. 😀🌄🍕🐾⚽️🏈⚾️❤️

A big sports Saturday.
Dang! It was another beautiful morning…
Good morning from Northside…
And we walked down the path by the school to look at the sunrise again…
We drove over to Oakley to go to the grocery. But first, we stopped to fuel up Genifer’s Audi. The sun was just coming up over the buildings…
And then it was on to the grocery…
Kroger was completely sold out of both the panda bear and the train…
So somebody does actually buy them. I wonder if they are any good? Someday, I’ll manage to sneak them into our cart.
Kroger did have a very nice assortment of great balloons today…
With it being so close to Halloween, I almost got this Monster POP!
And then we got our Saturday morning Mad Llama coffee…
Good evening from Northside…
Genifer made a slow-cooker pot roast for dinner tonight…
I made mine into an open-faced roast beef sammich…
And it was awesome! I’d been craving a sammich like this for a whlie now.
Mack kept bringing me his football. He must really be ready to kickoff another season of Michigan football as well…
Later this evening, all my teams kicked off at exactly the same time…
On the TV, I had with my Louisville City hosting Tampa Bay Rowdies the USL Eastern Conference finals. On the iPad, I had my Minnesota United versus our FC Cincinnati. And on the iPod, I had the opener of the Michigan football season as they played away to Minnesota.
LouCity lost 2-1. MNUFC stole one from FC|C 1-0 on a late scramble in the 90+2′, and Michigan whooped Minnesota 49-24. I guess two out of three isn’t bad. Louisville had a wonderful season that included a run of 13 games unbeaten, with eight straight wins that ended with tonight’s loss. 😀🌄❤️
UPDATE: USL made the determination that the season will conclude after Tampa Bay Rowdies and Phoenix Rising FC each progressed through the playoffs to win the Eastern Conference and Western Conference titles, respectively. USL announced that the 2020 USL Championship Final will not be played after multiple persons within the clubs tested positive for COVID-19. The final was scheduled for Sunday, November 1. Tampa Bay and Phoenix will explore the possibility of a 2021 Season Kickoff game between the two clubs prior to the start of the 2021 Championship season.
Wow. A season without a champion. 2020 just keeps getting better.
