102nd edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....

Ever worry the Burrow contract = the Votto contract ...and Ring of Honor/Ruler of the Jungle = statues/bobbleheads...and that's it? A big contract and shiny objects to pacify and distract fans?

We finally checked out The Pepper Pod for breakfast in Newport. Been around 68 years. Classic diner!

Kelly and I are headed to Columbus Wednesday night to see .....Justin Timberlake. React accordingly.

Dodgeball and kickball in gym class was the best.

I'd like to see the Reds move weeknight start times back to 7:10. Partly because games are 30+ minutes shorter with the pitch clock. Fans would still get home at a decent time. And partly because the sun is unbearable and unfair to left-fielders at 6:40.

Do you share meals when out with your spouse? I often give Kelly half of my meal and she give me half of hers. Is that weird? Maybe it's an age thing?

I tend to defer to coaches that watch every snap of a player in practice when it comes to that player's playing time.

Bummer to hear Sherman's Dairy Bar in South Haven, Michigan is closing after 66 years. A staple of our summer trips when Casey and Peyton were younger. Incredible ice cream and a big blue cow on the roof!

Did you ever attend Green Diamond Gallery in Montgomery? It was a mini Cooperstown of baseball memorabilia from Bob Crotty's personal collection. What a cool place.

We are enjoying ABC's High Potential with Kaitlin Olson. Big fan of Daniel Sunjata back to the show Graceland.

I recall drawing animal characters named 'Tippy' or 'Tiny' and sending them in to have my drawing skills evaluated when I was a kid. It was an ad in the back of comic books.

Could we please get a stop light at the corner of U.S. 25 and Maher Road in NKY? It feels like the car version of Russian Roulette each time I pull out onto U.S. 25 when headed to the Roundtable Show in Richwood.

We can't wait to check out BLINK tonight. We've attended the first two times.

If asked, I could instantly sing the theme from The Six Million Dollar Man and make the sounds of Steve Austin when he was in action.

I get more feedback and appreciation for interviews/coverage from UD basketball fans than any other fan base around the tri-state.

We watched Mother of the Bride on Netflix w/ Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt. Everytime I see Brooke Shields I think about her Calvin Klein TV commercials when I was 14 years old. Wow.

Yearly homeowner Tip: As temperatures drop, be sure and unhook garden hoses connected to the house. I learned a hard lesson about 15 years ago. The remaining water in the hose line froze, the hose expanded, causing the pipe to burst. My basement flooded.

As news junkies, we don't like the new Ch. 9 11 pm news format. We've switched to Channel 5.

Ya know what needs to come back? Bags of Tato Skins from Keebler. Loved those.

We gave up on ABC's Doctor Odyssey. Big fans of Don Johnson and Joshua Jackson. Just can't accept the premise of a drama about cruise ship doctors and people almost dying on a cruise ship each week.

I think we'll check out Milford Porch Fest on Saturday. Sounds cool. Went to something similar in Yellow Springs a couple of years ago.

I'd like to watch a Miami hockey game at Goggin Ice Center in Oxford.

Ever wind up the rubber band on your balsa wood glider plane and let it fly when you were a kid? Ever have the propeller whack your finger?

Jelly Roll's "I Am Not Okay' is an absolutely fantastic song.

Hey lefties, did you also struggle to find a left handed desk in your classrooms? Very unfair.

I remember hunting with my dad when I was about 8 years old. We brought rabbit home and my Granny fried it up in the skillet.

Last week, I listened to Pete Rose co-hosting Sports Talk with Waite Hoyt back in 1983. Radio gold. I'll play some during Sports Talk this week.

Don't worry about things you don't care about
