90th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
Not sure I recall another Reds team that ran as hot and cold as this one.
Approximately 57.4% of my yard is dead. The other 42.6% is growing and needed to be mowed today.
Really cool that Cruise & Tour reached out and expressed a desire to take a shot at putting together a potential Lance & Kelly Listener Trip. I hope to have details Monday.
Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis gets the 2026 college basketball Division II and Division III championships, along with the DI Final Four, the NIT semifinals and finals. Meanwhile, we have an Heritage Bank Center that opened in 1975.
More and more I wonder if I'm cut out to do this in a world where negativity is the fuel for most conversations.
'24' was such a unique TV show/format. I miss that show.
I'm not a big bourbon guy, but Hard Truth Distilling makes a superb Maple Bourbon Cream. I pour it over ice in a frozen glass after Extra Innings.
MLB plays the Futures Game, a showcase of the top prospects, at 3pm Saturday. All while 11 afternoon MLB games are being played. Great marketing. Why not move it to Wednesday evening when NOTHING is going on?
Hunter Greene makes $3.3M this season. Per Spotrac, he's the 329th highest paid player in MLB, the 100th highest paid starting pitcher.
We sleep with a fan on every single night. It's a sound thing.
Ever have one of those chairs that was like a half circle bamboo thing with a cushion that rested on a bamboo type stand? That was the centerpiece of my first apartment out of college.
Rule No. 1 of fan trades: If you don't want the Reds player, why would another team?
I miss Harry Caray and Steve Stone calling an afternoon Cubs game on WGN-TV.
Peyton chews on ice cubes. I can't even eat snow cones because I hate the sound and feel on my teeth.
I think our Buzz Bicycles adventure will take us to B.C. Brewing in Mason this weekend. Gotta check that one off our list. Will be No. 67.
I had a moon pie with a glass of milk this week. Stellar.
I use to wear a retainer with two fake teeth on it. I grew up with a space on each side of my front teeth.
Kelly made Beer Can Chicken in the oven. I think I could eat it every day of the week.
I find it fascinating how much people that don't like sports like soccer, NBA, WNBA, feel such a need to tell that to others.
I've never watched an episode of The Simpsons.
I was a big fan of Summer Sanders. I had her on my show back when she hosted Figure It Out on Nickelodeon. She sent me an autographed photo in a swimsuit. Hey now.
It's a shame kids today will never know the Spirograph, Etch-A-Sketch or View-Master.
The bonus to us picking up Mayor of Kingstown is Hugh Dillon. He's strong.....Flashpoint, Yellowstone, The Killing.
I said this about Bengals players when the Joe Burrow core was developing, I'll say it about this developing Reds core: Don't make them carry the baggage of ownership and front office. They have nothing to do with the past.
We are always looking for good seafood. Finke & Sons in Ft. Wright: 2 pieces of pecan crusted tilapia in a freezer pack for $8. Excellent.
90th edition? 90? I've done 90 of these? Thank you for reading!
Don't worry about what you don't care about
