Garage Sale & Tour Dates Announced

We're having a garage sale this weekend. 7/11-7/12, 8am-2pm. Anyone else have excess they're trying to make a buck on? We don't do it annually, but a semi-regular purge is always nice.

Anyone have recommendations in those areas on "must-do" or "must eat"?

Can the Reds survive with a Pena, Santiago, Cozart, Half-Frazier infield and a backup catcher named Tucker? Regardless, I'm looking forward to some of the remaining series this season. Bucs in town for three (take 2 of 3), get to 51 wins... I'll take that, if I knew in hindsight we'd be playing with a patchwork squad that includes a bullpen straight out of the Goshen beer league.

Julie and I moved into Season 3 of Dexter. Shaping up for a decent run... I always like looking at the titles in advance on Netflix but NEVER reading the plot summary. I polled FB friends and most told me Season 4 was the cutoff point, definitely a drop off after 5... I shall sit back and wait.

24 was in the same category... definite swagger-loss after the Behrooz Araz (Season 4), but I still love them all like my child(ren). I still rank their best seasons as: 2, 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 5, 7 (& Redemption). Live Another Day can still pull some miracles and make it in the top 50%... I'm not sure if it's actually good or if it's still novelty at this point.

I wanted this shirt on Wednesday night. I've bought one shirt total in my twenty years of concert-hopping. Something about $35 tees, I just can't come to grips with. I still won't do over $5 parking, unless I can find someone to split with.

Speaking of DMB, not the most 'amazing' set list, but we did get some rarities toward the end. I was one of seven attendees pleased with the encore.

Julie and I had a day-date here. Totally going back. (If you can't make it to Banana Leaf, always call ahead at the Wildflower... if we could make it a habit, we would).

Celtics 2017... calling it.

Happy Friday! Have a good weekend.

Go Reds

Going to baseball games is something we've always done.  Adam has been a lifelong Reds fan and I've always enjoyed any live sport.  Last summer we took him to a Dragons game.

Reid and PopPop Dave// Sleeping on daddy// Sporting his Dragons hat with me


Now that Reid is 2, we've been taking him with us to Reds games.  The first time was... a challenge.  It was fun, but a challenge.  We didn't really see much of the game.  We never made it to our ticketed seats.  We only sat for maybe an inning... or half an inning?  But Reid DID get a certificate for attending his first game.  He also joined the Reds Heads Kids Club.
