140th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....

I can't recall another Reds team that has tugged at my emotions in as many different ways, at as many different times, as this one! 

Did you know the Bengals are tied for 1st place in the AFC North?

Song I cranked the car radio to this week: "That's What I Like About You", The Romantics. That harmonic sequence!

They got new shopping carts at our Kroger and they are wonderful.

Really cool 1st time experiences as Luca Bistro for dinner and then The Blind Lemon for drinks/music in Mt. Adams.

Where is Tee Higgins?

Well, I guess I am going to have to mow the yard again.

Why do fans not at a game, care about how many fans are at the game?

Ever miss a spot while shaving and not realize it until later in the day?

“Tell me what you don’t like about yourself”...Nip/Tuck was one wild TV show.

I take pride in the fact I've written up a recap for every Reds game this season. Thank you for reading them. I think I've streamlined it to make it easy to read, understand what happened, and not have to click on something.

I can close my eyes and hear those 'Ruuuuuuuuuuuu----deeee" chants at PBS. His 2004-2006 seasons were something else. Over 4,2000 yards and 36 TD!

I'd love to attend the Ryder Cup.

Whoever coined it 'Robot Umps' did MLB a disservice. It's not robot umpires. It was never going to be robot umpires.

Look up the career numbers for Jose Ramirez: 285 HR, 283 SB, 395 2B, 7X All-Star, 5 Silver Slugger. Dang.

We need to hit Ollie's Trolley, in the West End community. Never been.

More winning would reduce the need for hashtags like #PACKGABP.

Growing pet peeve: People that feel the need to point out how they were right about something.

I had a metal NFL helmets lunchbox. It was cool.

My Granny used to make us PB&J by scooping both into a bowl, stirring, and then spreading on the bread. The best!

When I was a kid, I begged to stay up to hear the open to WCPO's Al Schottelkotte news: "11 o'clock in the Tri-State....Al.......Schottelkotte news time" 

Favorite Angel? Farrah Fawcett.

It's not needing a new hitting coach, or more 'heart' or 'mental fortitude' or 'leadership'.........for heaven sakes...the Reds need more and better hitters.

It's not yet a new offensive line coach, it's better scouting, drafting, developing and signing of offensive linemen.

The Bengals might start rookies at left and right guard Monday night on the road? Oh, my.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to listen to Kelsey Chevrolet Extra Innings. It's the favorite thing I've done in radio.

I've never played Scrabble.

When I was a kid. I loved when my mom made a pot of Pinto beans with smoked ham hocks. I'd tear up pieces of white bread and add to my bowl.

Listening to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 Countdown on Sirius XM during a vacation drive is a very enjoyable time warp experience.

FC Cincinnati will make a fourth straight playoff appearance. That seems like a pretty big deal in a city starved for winners.

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