124th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
I've never been to a Publix. We are stopping by the new one in Walton, KY this weekend. I guess I need to get a sub?
Kelly is into books on tape. I have no chance. I'm too easily distracted.
I always seem to find my first packs or baseball cards each spring at the Ace Hardware in Independence.
Song I cranked up the radio to this week: 'How Long" by Ace.
Big props to AAA for coming to the rescue of Peyton with a new battery Sunday night. Nothing like getting that call at 10:30pm when your daughter lives 90 minutes away.
Every draft season I think about/miss Jerry Jones. The Mariemont native and pharmacist created the original NFL draft guide: The Drugstore List. Such a kind person. Such a simple, yet information packed draft guide.
I was always the smallest player on my knothole teams. That meant wearing No. 1 and sitting in the front row of team photos, holding bats crossed in front of me.
We tried two episodes of Mobland (Paramount+) and bailed. Wild opening scene. Strong cast. Slow in developing. Accents make it tough to understand dialogue.
The Reds owe Jeimer Candelario $32M. Whether he plays another game or not.
Camden Yards remains unchecked on my Bucket List.
Ever use both hands to pull a Sugar Daddy out of your teeth?
Honored and fired up to the grand marshal of the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields Opening Day Parade! Join us next Saturday!
Ever have the onion rings at Greyhound Tavern in Ft. Mitchell? Fabulous. They are bigger than your hand!
I continue to believe FC Cincinnati coach Pat Noonan is the most enjoyable and insightful interview of any Cincinnati coach in a long, long time.
Imagine if the Reds had moved Barry Larkin off shortstop after his league leading 29 errors at the age of 24....or moved Dave Concepcion after his 30 errors at the age of 26.....one season before the 1975 Big Red Machine. Elly is 23 and played 277 ML games.
Facts are facts. Opinions are opinions.
You'd like to think with the way the Bengals approach free agency, they'd have the largest scouting department in the NFL.
Remember a paper game in grade school where you used four fingers and things were written on the squares? What was that?
I try to be ahead of my neighbors in lawn mowing. Apply the pressure, rather than feel the pressure.
I watched Saved By The Bell last week.
Casey and Peyton's Easter baskets will include Loveless Cafe biscuit mix and a jar of jelly that we ordered for them. Lucky.
Do you remember the Fisher Price parking garage with the turn-crank elevator?
Luis Robert is hitting .136 with 19 strikeouts in 59 AB for the White Sox.
I wouldn't want to be a star athlete in this town. Fan resentment, jealousy, and over-the-top scrutiny seems to follows.
The Bengals had better nail this draft.
High on my list of price ripoffs: Brunch
Memories of coloring Easter eggs: The PAAS kit. Vinegar. The wire thing that held the eggs for dipping.
I think grilled cheese sandwiches are underrated.
I picked up a pint of Carrot Cake and Espresso Chip gelato at Golden Gelato (Covington). Love that place. Good people.
There used to be a book left at our front door every year with the address and home phone number of everyone. Think about that.
A pack of 14 Topps baseball cards is $5.99. I just wish the industry was more geared towards kids.
Don't worry about things you don't care about.
