118th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....

As we were about to get out of our car and walk into the Justin Timberlake concert in Columbus last night, Kelly wondered why so many people were walking back into our parking garage. Answer: Justin Timberlake canceled his show...15 MINUTES before it was to begin.

That's the second time Timberlake has canceled his Columbus show. I used a vacation day for both. Uggg.

In summary: We drove two hours to sit in a parking garage, eat Jersey Mike's that we brought, and drove home. At least we got home at 9:55pm and not after 1am. I guess.

Peyton called us 'weirdos' for eating dinner in our car before the concert. I call it time efficient and cost effective.

The transplant honor walk scene in The Pitt (Max) is pretty powerful. I wasn't aware they did that.

I was never sent to the principal's office.

We are checking out our guy, Noah Smith, at Liberty Theater in Lawrenceburg.

Spencer Steer is having his shoulder re-examined this weekend? It's been sore since the second half of last season. I just don't get it.

Did you ever shop at the Johnny's Toys (Latonia) grocery store with your kids?

The personal touch and attention to detail from Jeff Ruby restaurants is pretty incredible. We opened our menus at The Precinct to find "Happy 25th Birthday, Casey" printed as part of each menu.

If Joe Burrow's continuing pressure has put the ball in the Bengals court, it sounded like Duke Tobin rolled that ball into the corner this week.

There will be a Blue Bloods spinoff with Donnie Wahlberg called Boston Blue? I'm in!

You know what's a really good song? "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand" by Primitive Radio Gods (1996).

Excited that Peyton has accepted a full-time position at The Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville. She had been interning there.

I enjoy watching Connecticut basketball lose, almost as much as watching the Chiefs lose.

FC Cincinnati's attack certainly looks more versatile and diverse than a year ago. What a roster makeover!

How did we lug around all of our school books without backpacks?

When Casey was growing up, I always pondered the difference in hits between buying a $150 and $250 metal bat. Go to Play It Again Sports.

"Miracles" by Jefferson Starship is a really smooth song worth going back and listening to.

Season 3 of Reacher (Amazon Prime) is here!

Remember how big a deal TCBY Yogurt was when it took off in the early 80's?

An underrated improvement coming for the Reds: Double plays turned. They were 27th in MLB last year with just 100. The ML average was 123. The best was 164. Elly and McLain work well together.

Dr. Hays and the gang at St. Elizabeth tell me I have 8.6 years of battery life remaining on my pacemaker. I say that's contingent on the Reds 1-run record and Alexis Diaz save rate this season.

We are headed to the Yum Center to catch Pat Kelsey's Louisville Cardinals this weekend. Peyton had here graduation there, but it's our first time watching basketball there.

Remember Pete Arbogast, voice of the Bengals prior to Dan Hoard and Brad Johansen? He's been the voice of USC football since 2001, calling 300+ games, more than anyone in program history. How do you do?

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