98th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
Peyton watched 'Rocky' for the first time this week. We made it movie night. She liked it, a rarity for her when watching movies from 'our day'.
Worst thing about football season starting: 1. Hearing picks on games. 2 Hearing how your fantasy team did.
Add 'perfect' to my list of words that drive me crazy. It seems to have become big with servers. You place your order and get a 'puuuuuuuuuurfect'.
I was a huge fan of Loverboy. Killer back to back albums with Loverboy ('80) and Get Lucky ('81).
Based on social media, there seems to be a ton of Bengals 'Super Fans'. Are there any Reds 'Super Fans'?
I'm easily overwhelmed by a big menu. I usually panic pick and regret it. Just put your best 10-15 dishes on one page.
I rode an electric Green Machine through the parking lot of Huffy headquarters this week. I slammed on the brake and slid through the turns. It was awesome.
Rhett Lowder reminds me of Mike Leake in the sense he won't overpower hitters, but he seems methodical, cerebral and crafty in how he gets guys out.
The return of HS football makes me miss my Friday night radio call of the WSBT-Radio Spotlight Game of the Week. I called South Bend area games with Rick Carter for four years. What a blast. I miss play-by-play.
I have a dwindling interest in sports beyond the local/area teams, and zero interest in national sports talk/podcast stuff.
Ever watch Prison Break? A fantastic show with a unique plot and a really good cast with Wentworth Miller, William Fichtner and others.
I married a 49ers fan. Yea, I can't believe it either.
Man, how good was life when you were dunking on the neft hoop hanging on your bedroom door?
Dessert Pick-to-Click: The s'mores calzone at Camporroso pizza in Ft. Mitchell. Wow.
I loved when Boomer Esiason's play action fake faked out the NBC cameraman.
Shout out Ashland, KY: I was born at King's Daughters Hospital.
Consider that 'back in the day', clicking through a View Master entertained us.
Anyone else hang their shirts in the closest and rotate order of wearing from left to right? Front of the line is next up.
Anyone else stack their t-shirts in the drawer by color groupings?
If a manager is such a big deal, why were the Mets 75-87 with Buck Showalter last year, but 76-64 with a first time manager nobody has ever heard of this year?
I like Ty France. But is there a spot for him with Jeimer Candelario, CES and the reality that the Reds would be better with Spencer Steer at 1B over LF?
They still make Gold Mine Bubble Gum in the drawstring bags? The little gold gum rocks!
Do you remember Remote Control, the MTV show where the contestants sat in recliners? I loooooooved that show.
Don't worry about things you don't care about
