Man I made it so easy this year for my wife. Tonight I was the lucky winner on 700 WLW of four tickets to the Reds v. Brewers game on Father’s Day. Pretty pumped. Plus I get free lunch and the possibility of throwing out the first pitch. Wouldn’t that be fun!?! If you are interested in the question click on the link!

That didn’t go so well. But what do you expect from a pitcher fresh out of AAA that has a 5 Era? Unlikely that the result would have been the same if Cueto pitched. Dare I say the Reds have been unlucky this year with injuries? Unlike last year, this years team seems snake bitten with injuries. Yet they still have a great record. People need to chill and stay with this team. They call it the Big 156 for a reason. I still think the Pirates revert back to the Pirates of old and the Cardinals rookies come back to earth. This Reds team is built to win a World Series this year and I still think they do it. While tonight’s game was disheartening, it is only one game. So step off the ledge peeps and enjoy this team. I know I am.
1) You ever lost something and have no clue where it was? Lost my phone last night. Went a whole day without my cell phone. Weird. Felt like I had no connection to the outside world. This must have been what it was like in the old days. Wait, I remember the old days. The days when I had to wait to get home to read email instead of getting it on my blackberry. So where was my phone? My wife threw it away. How rude was that! Of course it was an accident but still! Found it in the garbage outside. Evidently when cleaning out the car, my wife threw it in the wrong bag… Oh well, it is safe now.
2) Reds win! Jay Bruce hit a monster HR and Arroyo pitched great game.
3) Mondays suck. Mondays that fall on the first day of the month suck even more. Onto Tuesday! #onwardandupward
Every year around the first of June, my wife’s hometown of Troy, Ohio, USA (try not to say it like your in a beauty pageant) hosts the annual Strawberry Festival. It is always a grand time filled with strawberry lemon shakeups, Texas tenderloins, ice cream, fried foods of all sorts and any type of strawberry concoction you can think of. Been going now over 10 years and it is always a fun time. This year we chose to not live the whole experience due to some other things happening. but we made it over today for some fun! Strawberry lemon shake ups were a go, but sadly, no Texas tenderloin. We had a great time though and definitely will be back for more next year!
Curious, what is the point of a selfie? My understanding is that a selfie is a self portrait taken by your self. You are holding the camera alone. Are there rules? Do you have to use a mirror to get the whole “yes, I am taking a picture of myself holding a cool smart phone” vibe? Does it have to be with an iPhone? Could I hold my iPad up in the mirror for the same effect? More importantly, do I have to use a duck face? Important questions that need to be answered!
Here is my version of a selfie. It is mysterious. In a car. Using the rear view mirror effect. The phone is partially obscuring my face. Thoughts? Have I successfully posted a selfie?
Enjoyed a night with friends in Kentucky. Wish I could have camped out but sitting by the fire ws relaxing. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
