Last week, I reset my record high for points from my check-ins last week on Swarm…

We had some friends over for today’s Cowboys versus Chiefs football game. And we put out some snacks for the game…


Our Cowboys beat the Chiefs 28-17. But the snacks won the day. 😀🍲❤️

For Crafty Supermarket! It’s just around the corner…

Last year’s Crafty Supermarket was held at University of Cincinnati’s Campus Rec Center while Music Hall was undergoing all its renovations, and we found a bunch of really great stuff there. I can’t wait to see what they have at this year’s market. 😀🎁❤️

After watching some soccer this morning, we walked to get lunch for the very first time from the Blue Jay! It’s been a Northside staple for the last sixty years…

It’s kinda hard to believe it’s taken us over a year to eat here for the first time. But I think I know why. The Blue Jay is open Monday through Saturday until 3pm. And we just don’t move very fast on most Saturdays…

The inside is an awesome throwback to a bygone era…




It was lunchtime. And we both went for burgers…


And they were awesome! Nothing fancy, just a really solid burger. Last year, Blue Jay closed for a day so it could serve as a movie set. Come to find out that the movie is “The Killing of a Sacred Deer“ which is in theatres now and stars Colin Farrel, Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone.

We’ve already started plotting what we’re going to order on our next visit. Depending on what time we roll in, it’s either going to be pancakes and omelets or we’re going to give their Cincinnati chili a try with some cheese coneys and three-ways. What a terrific place! 😀🐦🎥❤️

Every night when we’re out walking Oscar, we always gaze at the moon. And tonight, there was a really big, bright 99.7% full moon…

I’ve been borderline obsessed with watching the moon ever since I downloaded this moon app from the Google Play store. It illustrates the phase of the moon with a picture right on my home screen. Clicking on the app tells me what percentage of the moon is visible, when the next full moon will take place and the best part is, it’s ad-free! It’s a neat little app that helps me always feel well informed about the moon. 😀🌕🌝❤️

Tonight, we just ordered some NYPD Pizza and started watching the second season of Stranger Things on Netflix…

It was the perfect Friday night! 😀🍕📺❤️

It was an overcast and gloomy evening but that didn’t stop us from meeting after work at Higher Gravity for another Meet the Brewery…

Tonight’s brewery was Platform Beer Company from Cleveland…

Higher Gravity had three Platform beers on tap to try. We sampled Platform’s IPA called Paranormal Hoptivity, The Peach Project and Yammy Yammy. They were all really good. The Yammy Yammy was my favorite. They have a taproom in Cleveland as well as Columbus. And they were saying that they would like to open a taproom in Cincinnati. So we’ll have to keep an eye out for that. The fourth beer in our flight was Moozie from Brink Brewing Company just up Hamilton Avenue from us. Also, very good. On the way home, we saw these Halloween Elmo’s in a window…


It was another fun evening of sampling some new beers in Northside. 😀🍺🍻⬆️❤️

When we lived downtown at Sycamore Place, the space directly below our apartment was always vacant. I was walking by our old building today and noticed that the once vacant space is now a leasing office for Sycamore Place and all of its sister properties in the northeastern corner of the Cincinnati’s Central Business District…

It’s nice to see they finally found a use for the space. 😀❤️

Genifer picked me up from work this evening and we went up to Rhinegeist in Over-the-Rhine for Charitable Suds…


Every Wednesday for 5-8pm, Rhinegeist donates $1 from every draft beer sold in their taproom to a different charitable organization. And they call it Charitable Suds. This week’s organization was Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services were Genifer works in Human Resources…

So we thought we would do our part and have a beer… you know, for charity…

Every time I’ve been in Rhinegeist, I’m always so impressed by the space…









Genifer’s co-workers are really nice,and it was a really good time. 😀🍺🍻❤️
