Remember when sucking water from a garden hose was our summer salvation when playing outside?
I like to mow in different patterns and designs from week to week to keep from getting bored.
I loved watching the baseball All-Star game player introductions when I was a kid. It was a chance to actually see the American League guys.
We finally tried Wario's Beef in Columbus. Now we get it.
Few things are more frustrating than jumping through the endless hoops to cancel something on-line.
Enjoy the enjoyable.
Big Jeremy Allen White fan (The Bear). Can't wait to see him in the new movie "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere". He does all the singing.
When you were a kid, did you ever take the ink tube out of a Bic pen and use the shell to shoot spitballs?
I miss making blanket and pillow forts with Casey and Peyton.
Song I cranked up and drove with the windows down this week: Any Way You Want It (Journey)
Position players pitching in a MLB game is dumb.
It's really cool that Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited my friends at Camporroso in Ft. Mitchell. Great people. Great food. Can't wait to watch the episode tonight.

Are you watching Ransom Canyon? I'm not sure I'd be sticking with it if Minka Kelly and Josh Duhamel were not in it.
The behind the scenes stuff from Joe Burrow, Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins in 'Quarterback' (Netflix) is a must watch. The human reveal, the nuances and intricacies of each person is absolutely fascinating.

Remember using brown paper grocery bags to make book covers in school?
I don't know what to make of Noelvi Marte. But I'm still bullish on him. He's 23.
Heck of a career: Rookie Year/MVP same year. 9X All-Star. 4 Gold Gloves. 306 HR, 388 2B, 1,111 RBI, 1,063 R..... Fred Lynn.
The 'buy an entree and take an entree home for $10' at Carrabba's is an excellent deal. It's Peyton's favorite place. I'm a big fan of the Johnny Rocco Salad with shrimp and scallops.
Big fans of Columbus. That Short North District is really cool. North Market is awesome. We walked seven miles along the Scioto Mile area.
I will always sing out loud when I hear 'Melt With You" by Modern English.
I don't get taking a dog to a baseball game.
I've never understood the concept of a mop and bucket, and wringing out the mop to then mop the floor with dirty water.
Sometimes, people just wear me out.
