106th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
I believe I've convinced Kelly that we should move the decorated Christmas tree into the spare bedroom after Christmas, rather than dragging out, putting up and decorating every year. Genius.
The discontent felt by the Bengals and UC football fan bases right now is palpable.
I'm honored to have a Heisman Trophy vote again this year. The vote for 1st-2nd-3rd place is done online. The deadline is Monday. My vote cannot be made public until after the announcement.
Our weekend music plans: Noah Smith’s Crooner Circus Songwriter Festival: A 40-musician music festival at the historic Southgate House Revival Saturday night.
I fear going to a comedy club in the way I feared being called on in class.
Favorite sports poster as a kid: George Gervin "The Iceman Cometh", sitting on a block of ice throne in a silver satin tracksuit.
Overall, start-to-finish, this is the most disappointing Bengals season of my lifetime.
I would have lost a bet thinking Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers sang the 1993 song Runaway Train. It is in fact Soul Asylum, and they won a Grammy for Best Rock Song.
When UC football's talks about the importance of recruiting their backyard, and then signs 0 HS recruits from Greater Cincinnati out of 19 players, there is an issue. And it just won't fly with fans...especially at 5-7 and 8-16 under Scott Satterfield.
I have a habit of turning on a radio in every room I walk into. I guess I like hearing something/knowing what's going on. I don't like silence.
Athletes have a bigger voice that ever with all the social media platforms. I'm not sure I could list five current athletes that I find interesting to listen to.
Kelly and I have decided we underrate and don't visit Hocking Hills enough.
TV show recommendation: Ted Danson in the new Netflix sitcom, Man On The Inside. Sally Struthers is also in it. 8 episodes. Worth it.
Imagine this Bengals offense minutes Tee Higgins next year.
We stopped at Lehr's Market in Milford, again. We got the Bootsy Collins meatloaf sandwich. Seriously good. We took home wings, pork tenderloin, “Ryan’s Blend" ground beef and meatballs. I'm going to need an Independence location.
I continue to try and convince Kelly we need to gradually get rid of stuff we don't need. I want a smooth, easy and quick downsize move.

Wait, Holly is back on General Hospital?
A prize possession of mine in middle school was a black Ace comb. Never without it in my back pocket. Sadly, I couldn't tell you the last time I needed a comb.
There can't be a more overused word in sports than 'accountability'....such a nebulous throwaway word.
I heard Tommy Thrall say on the Hot Stove Show that Terry Francona feels like a 10 win difference for the Reds. I hope the front office/ownership isn't banking on that. No manager is worth 10 wins in a season. They just aren't.
Don't worry about things you don't care about
