It's amazing how warm 38 degrees feels after a couple days of near-zero degree temperatures.

This online discourse about the Bengals not clearing snow off the seats is so dumb.
There are a lot of things you could say about the #Bengals being cheap. Clearing snow off individual seats, with a short turnaround time, isn't one of them. Aisles were clear, that's what really matters.

You couldn't pay me to be at the Bengals game. Well, actually, if someone paid me, I'd go. I wouldn't pay money to go to it.

I checked one sports score today. It was Army-Navy, and I only did because one of my friends I was with today went to Navy. Totally forgot UC was even playing, and to be honest, I didn't even care I missed the game.
A good reminder that real life beats sports or the Internet any day of the week.

I got stranded at my friend's house, 10 minutes away from my place. Still waiting for the plows to come through her neighborhood.
I guess if I'm going to get stranded, there are worse places to be than hanging out with two of my closest friends.

Worked out tonight for the first time in a week and a half. I felt every bit of it.

I have to go to the grocery store. Drove by a Kroger, and nope, not doing that right now.
People are crazy. We're getting 3-5 inches of snow. You're not going to be locked in your house for days. But then again,schools were closed today for one inch...

....and I have no water. Looks like I'm not taking a shower tonight after all. In the four years of living here, I've never had this problem before.

Taking everything in me right now to not to book a flight to Arizona for the first weekend of spring training. I'm already so over winter. (The snow and brutal cold won't even be here until the weekend).

A team took money they didn't use for Schwarber and paid another free agent with it?
What a novel concept.

If a lockout wasn't looming over the 2027 season, I'd consider not going to any MLB games in 2026. But I love baseball too much to do that, and I'm going to need my fix before all hell breaks loose next offseason.

Now that I've read and listened to his comments about Schwarber and the Reds budget, Nick Krall's comments annoyed me more than the Reds actually missing out on Schwarber.

Called it. I knew he would end up back in Philly. This is why I didn't get my hopes up with the "rumors" of him to the Reds.

I feel like I've been fighting to stay healthy for a week and tonight is no different. With the number of people in my circle who have also been sick lately, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with the flu or a cold too, but I am trying my hardest not to let that happen.

If Kyle Schwarber actually signs with the Pirates, I will know that I'm living in an alternate universe.

With the Bearcats season in the toilet already in early December, I should have plenty of time to catch up on TV shows between now and the start of baseball season.

Nick Krall can't say the payroll isn't changing much next season and also be "interested" in signing Kyle Schwarber.

My sister is working today (the medical field doesn't stop for holidays) and my dad is still recovering from surgery, so my thanksgiving day has consisted of TV shows, a two mile run, and cleaning up a glass bottle of tart cherry juice I dropped in my apt parking lot.
