Since back in 2010 I’ve been doing these retrospective entries. Before we get too far into the year I wanted make sure I knocked this one out. As I said in my previous post I’ve been a terrible blogger recently and my yearly output of only 24 posts shows just how true that statement is. This is down from 79 posts in 2016 and 80 in 2016. I still plan on backdating a few movie reviews and … Continue reading

I saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi last night. There’s a lot to process and I can’t wait to see it again. I’ll be writing a review shortly but all I’ll say now is “wow”. I told my boys this morning… you now have a responsibility. Do NOT spoil The Last Jedi for anyone. Let them experience it for themselves. In that same vein I’d ask this… don’t be that guy. Don’t post spoilers without … Continue reading
Just spitballing here for a moment… I’m trying to keep it positive, but it’s proving difficult. If the Cleveland Browns finish the season “defeated” (0-16) which is looking more and more likely each Sunday, Hue Jackson will have a head coaching record of 1-31. – 12/17 we host the 7-6 Baltimore Ravens. – 12/24 we’re at the 4-9 Chicago Bears – 12/31 we’re at the 11-2 Pittsburgh Steelers I don’t have high hopes for any of these games if I’m … Continue reading

Every year as the calendar turns towards October, folks in Northeast Ohio start to say goodbye to summer and prep for fall and winter. With the cooling temperatures and shortened days come the thought of snow removal. Sadly, there are some out there that take advantage of that situation. I was hoping to not to have to write a post of this nature this year but sadly here I am yet again. Got Snow Services … Continue reading

You’ll hear it countless times today: “Never forget”. You’ll (hopefully) see flags. You’ll see Facebook and Twitter profiles updated. But have you really remembered since last year? Ask yourself… when was the last time you REALLY remembered the events of September 11th, 2001? Was it last year? I sincerely hope not. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I remember it often. We were living in Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C. That morning I … Continue reading
