Happy Superb Owl Sunday!

We were up super early this morning, even before the sunrise…

Good morning from Northside…

And we were off to run over the the grocery…

We always go to the grocery early, but we wanted to get over extra early this morning. We thought it might start to get a bit nutty with people stocking up on supplies for The Big Game™…

It looked like Ice Bear was rescued from the claw machine…

He used to be right where the zebra is now. I hope he went to a good home…

Both the panda and the train were out of stick in the International Aisle…

And there were still a few balloons left but no owl balloons…

Just lots and lots of hearts…

As is tradition, we stopped for coffee after the grocery…

Here’s another photo of Genifer’s new desk. She moved it over in front of the window…

It looks really nice in there.

And good evening from Northside…

I was cheering for Tom Brady in The Big Game™…

And there you go. We had a whole bunch of chip and dippers while we watched the game. It was a pretty great Superb Bowl Sunday. 😀🌄☕️🦉🏈📺❤️

Happy Superb Owl Sunday.

HAPPY SUPERB OWL SUNDAY! We don’t have a goat in the fight this year. But we do have something to watch for during this year’s Big Game. The agency I work for has a long history of creating memorable commercials for the Superb Owl. But usually, they are produced by Grey’s office in New York City.

But this year, our Grey Midwest office produced the first Superb Owl commercial to ever come from an ad agency in Cincinnati. It’s been a huge secret from months, but now the big news can finally be shared. And where I didn’t get to work on the Superb Owl ad directly, I think it’s pretty cool to be able to say that I work at an agency that created an ad for the world’s largest stage.

What the team at Grey Midwest made was a first of its kind interactive choose-your-own-adventure commercial where America will choose the final cut.

Visit WhenWeComeTogether.com to begin the adventure.

Make sure you create your favorite version of the commercial and keep an eye out for the final version during the fourth quarter of The Big Game this evening!

Pretty dang cool. 😀🦉🏈🏆📺❤️

And check out some of the best Super Bowl commercials of all time.

Champions AGAIN!

The Patroits won their sixth Superb Owl of the Tom Brady era. There were some great posts on social media. These are some of my favorites…

All of these are from the Patriots Instagram except for the last one which is from the Instagram of Michigan Football. GO PATS! GO BLUE! 😀🏈🏆❤️

Oh, and this one was from my Instagram…

Superb Owl Party at HG.

We went to Higher Gravity for tonight’s big Sports Bowl…

They hosted a Superb Owl Sports Bowl Potluck Party and there was all sorts of food…

It was the most uneventful Sports Bowl in the history of Sports Bowls, We ended up staying for the entire game because nothing happening and we were afraid if we left we’d miss the big play. Thankfully there was finally some action in fourth quarter, and the Patriots pulled off the win. I think I was person at HG who was happy the Patriots won. But Higher Gravity made a very boring game pretty fun. 😀🏈🏆❤️

Superb Owl Sunday.

Well, the result of The Big Game™ didn’t turn quite as I would have liked. I guess Tom Brady and the Patriots can’t win all the Superb Owls. It’s awful nice of them to let someone else win one every now and then. But it was still a good game. And there were some pretty good commercials. Oh well. Onto the next sports ball season already in progress. 😀🦉🏈❤️

Superb Owl Pregame.

We pregamed for the Superb Owl with another massive 22″ pepperoni pizza and wings from Chameleon Pizza in Northside. The best part is… ready? This time… THEY DELIVERED IT! Chameleon’s pizza delivery is up and running. It took just a little over a half hour for all this amazing deliciousness to be sitting on our dining room table…

So much pepperoni. We could only eat two slices each because they are huuuuge…

The pizza is great. But we can’t say enough about their wings. Their boneless wings are outstanding. We’ve only had BBQ boneless wings. But I would be hard-pressed to try a different flavor or bone-in wings because these are just out of this world…

And with our bellies full, we journeyed back up to our third floor where it’s the warmest in our house to get ready for tonight’s big game. 😀🍕🐔❤️

ps. What’s up with the back-to-back pizza posts on the blog?! High five for pizza! 🖐️🍕

A superb Sunday.

Today, my parents, Genifer and I walked up into Over-the-Rhine for lunch. Along the way, we stopped in to check out Elm & Iron on Vine Street…

And there’s a dang Swiss gondola in the store…

Which could be yours if the Price is Right…

They have such unique stuff at Elm & Iron. I don’t know who can afford most of it. But unique nonetheless. From there we headed over to Taft’s Ale House for lunch…

The Huntsman Stew my dad ordered was really on point…

And so was the chicken sammich Genifer and I shared…

We had another beer at Taft’s Ale House down in the lower level at Nellie’s Tap Room. And then headed over to have a drink at Nation Kitchen and Bar in Pendleton…

There are some really gorgeous building in Over-the-Rhine. These two are on Main Street…

On the way home, we swung through Horseshoe Casino. Mom walked out the casino with more money than she had when she walked. And that always makes for a good day!

We made it home just in time for the start of the Superb Owl because after all, it is…

Mom brought Polish Mistakes, or Hanky Pankies as Genifer like to call them…

And bacon-wrapped water chestnuts…

And I made these pepperoni balls for the big game…

It was a really great and delicious weekend with my parents! We crammed a lot of stuff in to just a couple of days! We can’t wait to see them again when we get married in Jamaica in just a couple weeks! 🙂
