Retro Metro.

While I was waiting at Government Square for my Cincinnati Metro Rt17 bus, I saw one of the two super rad Retro Metro buses!

Back on Monday, Cincinnati Metro launched two “Retro Metro” buses that will be circulating throughout the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority’s bus system to celebrate four decades of Metro service. The buses sport throwback Metro branding from 1986 and a throwback cheap fare to match, just 65 cents!

It’s pretty awesome that I’ve already got the chance to see one of these retro branded Metro buses! #ILoveCincinnatiMetro ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸšŒโค๏ธ

Good morning and evening.

Good morning from Northside.

Good evening from downtown Cincinnati.

And good evening from our backyard in Northside.๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒ„โค๏ธ

Pause for paws.

Genifer got Oscar this new super fuzzy dog bed…

I think he really likes it a lot. I went downstairs to refill my water and Mack was waiting for me at the top of our third floor stairs…

Three years ago.

Three years ago today, everyone was waking up to a world where the Chicago Cubs were finally World Series champions after 108 years…

GO CUBS GO! Thanks for the memories, Timehop! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿฆ•โšพ๏ธโค๏ธ

That reminds me, if you ever get the opportunity to watch Let’s Play Two, it’s terrific…

Letโ€™s Play Two is a documentary that chronicles Pearl Jamโ€™s legendary performance at Wrigley Field during the Chicago Cubs historic 2016 season. With Chicago being a hometown to Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam has forged a relationship with the city, the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field that is unparalleled in the world of sports and music.

It’s just an incredible film that made me fall in love with Pearl Jam all over again. And it does an amazing job of telling the story of the years of heartbreak to the elation of Cubs fans and mystique of Wrigley Field and how it all intertwines with Pearl Jam playing Wrigley Field during Cubs magical run to their World Series championship. That’s a wicked long run-on sentence but it’s just a great documentary that I ended up buying and watch probably once a week.

And while we’re talking about baseball during the non-baseball season, peep this…

It’s all the Cincinnati Reds Big Red Machine team shown through baseball cards framed on a baseball diamond organized by player position. I’ve never really seen anything like this and I just thought it was also really pretty neat.

Good evening from Northside.

Good evening from our backyard…

And good evening from the top of the hill at the end of our street…

Good evening from Northside. ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒ„โค๏ธ

Taft’s Chicken Pesto.

After the football game, we stopped at Taft’s Brewpourium again. But this time instead of one of their delicious New Haven pizzas, I tried one of the Brewpourium’s Chicken Pesto sandwiches…

It was a really good sammich. Genifer had one of their terrific salads. And we shared some loaded tots…

We love Taft’s Brewpourium. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ”๐Ÿฅ—โค๏ธ

Are you ready for some football?

This afternoon, we hopped over to St. Bernard to watch our nephew, Liam play in the GCYL Division I Reserve Football League semi-final at Roger Bacon’s Bron Bacevich Memorial Stadium…

Liam’s St. Antoninus team won 28-6! And now they’re moving on to play for the Division I Reserve championship next weekend!

Congrats, Liam! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿˆโค๏ธ

Pumpkin patch pop-up.

We noticed there was another little pop-up pumpkin patch at the Montessori School atop the hill at the end of street this morning…

Oscar and Mack really seemed to enjoy sniffing all the pumpkins. I think they stopped to sniff each and every pumpkin. ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

It’s what you crave?

For whatever reason, two crave cases of White Castle cheeseburger sliders showed up at the office today around lunchtime…

I hadn’t had White Castle in years and years. Today, I had two little sliders…

They were pretty much exactly how I remember them. And now I can go years and years without having them again. ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿ”โค๏ธ

Our 2018 Higher Gravity Beervent Calendar.

This evening we stopped at Higher Gravity for a beer. We wanted to try Platform Beer Company’s Fostered Bananas Sour Berliner Weisse and Brink Brewing’s Armored Heart Coffee & Vanilla Stout

And we had to pick up ourย 2018 Higher Gravity Beervent Calendar

It’s like any other Advent calendars used to countdown the days ofย Adventย in eager anticipation of Christmas. Except with this calendar, there’s a different beer behind every door. We can’t wait to see what beers are waiting for us every day as we inch closer to Christmas…

We’re going to post the photos from our HG 2018 Beervent calendar every day until Christmas in this photo album on our Flickr. Cheers! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ๐ŸŽ„โค๏ธ
