Sure’ve been missing my soul buddy Annie. Gone eight years. She knew what was up. Love. That was it.

Game 2 of ND’s season and the one that knocked them out of the playoffs. Never lost again.

Collie, right? My once-in-a-lifetime dog was a collie. We were lucky.

I’m a Tacoma kid living in Cleveland so I’ve got the same feeling, but in reverse. :)

Your dad is not fooling with the Righteous Brothers. Check em out kids. And I share his take on Bad Bunny. Who is against joy?

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

He had a great season! Really stepped in midseason during injuries, just solid.

Ah, I live in Cleveland and I understand your empathy for fandom in the face of epic NFL failure.

I would expect you to be a Ravens fan. Is it a childhood thing, this Jets affliction? Anyway I’m a Tacoma kid, thank you for Sam Darnold.

So true. May the echo of your crazy belief get louder.

Not much Cleveland football for him to root for, true, but it’s a failure of the Dolan-era Guardians that he’s not here. And I say that as a lifelong Mariners fan who’s thrilled to have him on the M’s.

Cleveland folks, I’m sorry, he has completely crossed over.

Almond Rocas are delicious! (And fortunately don’t have a ton of chocolate, but I’m no vet.)

Some crazy good novels by young people. And amazing, insightful novels by older folks. I’ll take the full menu thanks.

The guitar riff of this song would be my baseball walkup song, if I ever made it to the majors. :)

I'm glad I'm still capable of being surprised (people having strong opinions about a team that isn't their own opting out of a Dec. 27 bowl game sponsored by a breakfast pastry)

Which makes you wonder about the honor of our Republican governor should gerrymandering actually increase in Ohio, under his watch, under already ridiculously tilted maps.

Made it to the brand new Mosaic Brewing in Tremont this week for afternoon beers. The rooftop patio is not to be missed. Prime views of downtown #Cleveland.

Vintage Cleveland sign.

Vintage Cleveland sign.

Hand painted metal sign from the attic of our 1872 apartment building in downtown Cleveland. I’m guessing City and Suburban was an early 1900s company?

Rock Legend Mitch Ryder is Performing in Wooster, All to Fulfill a Promise Made 57 Years Ago - Cleveland Scene In the 1960s, Wooster High School won a contest to have a concert by Mitch Ryder. But he canceled with no explanation.

Good for 80-year-old Mitch Ryder.

Browns and Cleveland make peace, reach $100M deal to move stadium to Brook Park Cleveland and Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have reached a $100 million settlement that ends their legal feud and clears the way for a $2.4 billion domed stadium in Brook Park.

I still don’t like Suburb Browns but I’m glad to see this. Now let’s improve our lakefront.
