107th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
We ate at Honey Uninhibited (Covington) for the first time last week. It's owned by former Bengal Carlos Dunlap. Tremendous fried catfish with cheesy cheddar grits and cajun cream sauce. Two days later, it closed permanently. Dang.
Peyton's stolen car saga lives on. We are getting restitution on our insurance deductible. The perpetrator was ordered to send a $25 check to the courts, to then send to us, once a month for 20 months. I'm torn between laughing and feeling badly enough to decline the gesture.
Wanna pay Tee Higgins? Cool. But can you explain how the Bengals defense AND offensive line will get better for 2025?
I will always geek out about purchasing my yearly desk calendar. Blank. 365 days. Endless possibilities. Can't wait. Old School.
I got to do radio play-by-play of Indiana High School basketball around the state for over a decade. Classic gyms. Legendary programs/coaches. What a treat.
Ever do dumb/unexplainable stuff? We parked the wrong way on one-way Monmouth Street across from Newport Pizza Co. Saturday night. Result: ticket and tow. That beats the initial fear of the car being stolen. And I say 'we' because Kelly was with me and I think she shares in the blame:)
Elly will be playing for the Reds in at least 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028. Why worry about what might happen in free agency?
I met my sister and brother-in-law for breakfast at The Hive (Erlanger) for the first time. Fantastic food. Shout out to server Jim M.
I used to cheat at Gin Rummy when I played with my Grandma and sister.
In high school, I got to write a weekly column for the Carmel community paper 'Carmel Topics' I thought I was big time.
I don't understand coaches that take pride in being oblivious to what is happening outside their bubble. It's just coaching. Live.
Attending Army vs Navy remains unchecked on my Sports Bucket List.
Ever have that classic 1976 bicentennial KISS poster on your wall?
I'd like to go back and watch a college basketball game called by Dick Enberg, Al McGuire and Billy Packer.
Got Keith Urban/Riverbend tickets today!
Consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs inside the Joe Burrow window is brutal.
I miss watching the Bob Knight Show hosted by Chuck Marlowe on WTTV-4. Just classic TV.
Favorite driveway basketball game? Around the World, 21 or Horse?
I keep stumbling into Love Boat reruns. I find myself saying "Hey, that's ________ from _________"
Jermaine Burton doesn't get many snaps because he hasn't earned more snaps. Not sure how much more clear that can be.
Would you rather owners of teams spend their money on the players or pocket it?
Don't worry about things you don't care about
