This picture is an excuse to recognize Kim, who drew my blood at the third floor lab at the Bing Cancer Center at @OhioHealth. That was the fastest, least noticable blood draw that I have ever had. And she was quite pleasant, too! (at Bing Cancer Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1b3CUXAInK/?igshid=s9c1xxr6lble

It's the 20th anniversary tour of #RENT, one of my favorite #rock #musicals. Did you know that it is loosely based on #Puccini's opera #LaBoheme? (at Palace Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaHnqRAjwU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=186n4sx54cyn6

Matthew came over to watch the #Colts @ #Texans then the #Seahawks @ #Cowboys, so I decided to make homemade sauce (with mild #Italian sausage). It has only been cooking for four hours (normally, I cook it overnight) and it is already amazing. It is days like these I thank Grandmother Lombardi for constantly volunteering Paul and I for garden, canning, and sauce duty. I just wish she didn't break so many wooden spoons over both of us. #TrueStory (I know this is sacrilegious, but I'm pretty certain my sauce is now better.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRe-Bulje0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=frk9iu23p0t0

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This #Christmas #tree has special significance for me. I've not been in a relationship for over three years and the first solo Christmas was challenging especially since I live alone. After that Christmas, I reflected and quickly figured out that I was not in the holiday spirit only when I was at home largely because I didn't have a tree - which has always been something that I have loved. After Christmas, I found this incredibly well-designed pre-lit tree (at 1/2 off). Every Christmas since, this tree's presence during the #holiday season has made my time apart from #family and #friends to be much more pleasant. Here's to a better holiday season for everyone! Now, back to more personal Christmas tradition in progress: "Die Hard" on Christmas Eve after the original "Miracle on 34th Street". I'll have a much more important post tomorrow about a spin on Christmas spirit. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrzJCx0AQYs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=159iazjnhd1l7

If I ever meet an #animal that doesn't instantly like me... (I'll have to bribe them with treats.) As you can see, Phantom hates me #cat sitting him. Me: Phantom, may I get up now. Phantom: No, I'm busy. 30 minutes later... Me: Phantom, may... Phantom: I'M STILL BUSY, SILLY HUMAN! https://www.instagram.com/p/Brs4xlVAFZT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pf7yr41q853v

Since this is such a popular topic... I like the aggressive attitude behind the lets-go-for-it on 4th and 1; however, the running play called was a poor decision and they would have been better off with a 4 point lead. With respect to the running play called, the Denver @Broncos (quite obviously before and after the @ClevelandBrowns timeout) were anticipating an interior run - quarterback sneak or not. Any type of misdirection play that looked like the start of an interior run would have been a better call. Plus, it was a slower developing play in the backfield. I understand the logic of giving the offensive line time to open up holes in the defense, but you drastically increase the chance the play is going to get blown up for a loss - and you only needed 1 yard. With respect to not kicking the field goal (again, I like the aggressiveness behind the 4th down attempt), kicking the field goal would have been a much better call. First and foremost, it’s a chip shot from the 10 yard line (27 yard field goal) so it is extremely likely the Browns put 3 points on the door to put them up by 4. That necessitates Denver driving a likely 75 yards for a touchdown in 1:49 with no timeouts. That might be plenty of time for Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady, but they were up against Case Keenum. Instead, you gave Denver the ball at the Denver 10 yard line only needing 55 yards in the same amount of time to safely be in field goal range. That would put the ball at the Cleveland 35 for a 52 yard field goal, which is like a 47 yard field goal due to Mile High Stadium actually being 1 mile above sea level. A horrible game management decision that I haven’t heard or seen mentioned. Denver had the ball at the 50, 1st and 10, with 0:53 seconds on the clock when Keenum spikes the ball to stop the clock at 0:52. Denver only needed 15 yards to be in decent field goal range for the win. At this point, downs and yardage are infinitely more important than saving 4 to 6 seconds while you call a pass play at the line of scrimmage. It's a nice change to know the Browns are in the playoff hunt this late in the season even if the odds are less than 2%. #Cleveland #Browns #Broncos #Denver #NFL https://www.instagram.com/p/BrdagfGA3Xp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c0g2l1gm1z2u

I made dinner (except for the salad) so I'm allowed. :P https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRVBz9lnZ5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=194xjspg80r55

Everyone else is going to bed and I just started #cooking for tomorrow. You've got to properly season and brown that roast before you throw it in the Crock-Pot. Low heat for 18 hours and the meat will melt in your mouth with each bite. #potroast #nottired https://www.instagram.com/p/BrO_COXlZM-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mfxoeeabql4

The #irony of people utilizing #DrWho #memes/#GIFs for expressing disappointment in the #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy casts' letter regarding @JamesGunn is stark. Did any of you actually watch one full season of Dr. Who? If so, you have no clue what the TV series is about. Here's an excellent quote (via twitter.com/Kaluvien) from Dr. Who 11 that says it all: "...But times change and so must I. We all change when you think about it, we're all different people, all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good. You got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be..." @PrattPrattPratt @ZoeSaldana @DaveBautista @KarenGillanOfficial #BradleyCooper @VinDiesel @TheJudgeGunn @Pom.Klementieff @Michael_Rooker

#Glass, the merged sequel to #Unbreakable and #Split, finally released its first, full-length trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ghQs5AmNk The potential of this movie is off the scale - and I can easily envision Glass being one of two (or more) concluding parts. #BruceWillis #JamesMcAvoy #SamuelLJackson #Movies #January #2019

One of my favorite aspects of #summer is that the South Drive-In Theater is open. They have a killer double feature this weekend of Solo: A Star Wars Story and Avengers: Infinity War. If you can see this message, you are welcome to join the group tonight.

@KingJames making an extremely difficult, opposite side, driving, fadeaway look elegant and easy. And the game winner. And at the buzzer. @Raptors, there's only one #Superman in the @NBA - and he plays for the @Cavs. #LeBron #LeBronJames #Cavs #Raptors #NBA #GOAT #Elevation

No, this isn't a post about #MichelleWolf per se. Rather, this is an #opportunity to share an excellent #article by one of my favorite #journalists, #MattBai, that focuses on the underlying problem with modern #political #journalism. Here's the article: https://www.yahoo.com/news/cluelessness-correspondents-dinner-090035664.html What a coup for #Yahoo when Matt Bai left the #NewYorkTimes and joined Yahoo #News in 2013.

#Intermission for an excellent production of "The King and I". The #movie was one of my #mother's favorites - at least partially because of Yul Brynner in the lead role. Top-notch #comedy + Good #story + Great #musical numbers = Must see! #TheKingAndI #Rodgers and #Hammerstein #Broadway #BroadwayAcrossAmerica (at Ohio Theatre)
