• 14:48 Feeling good about rescuing my Twitter account from the endless tweets of Chad Ochocinco. Generous guy, very entertaining AND a bit much.
• 21:37 I offered my support to Mick Cronin on September 7 at the UC-Rutgers football game. The Bearcats basketball team is 4-0. Coincidence? Hmmm.

• 08:29 (Jumping on the thankfulness bandwagon) I give thanks for remembering: I always have a choice. I create my reality according to my thinking.
• 22:07 Christmas GIft Alert: If you have any interest in University of Cincinnati football, you MUST read "Bearcats Rising" by Josh Katzowitz.

• 12:10 First and foremost, I’m out on an excellent motorcycle ride today. It’s goooood for my soul. And now… GO BUCKS! BEAT MICHIGAN!

• 08:42 I lied. There is no painless commute into Somerville at the hour I’ve been leaving. I have to get up and out earlier. Need a rhythm.

• 16:45 Number of work days I have not eaten lunch at Anna’s Taqueria: Two. $5.30 for the Mexican plate. Mmmm. I walk by Chipotle to get there.

• 05:47 Got up early to watch a meteor shower this morning. Pretty cool. Makes me realize (again) that I’m grateful to be living out in the country.
• 12:56 NH/Boston peeps: Do you know anyone who might be able to hook me up with a good deal on four new tires? I’m in need. Thanks!
• 18:51 Food and drink in Amesbury, then some Kenny Wayne Shepherd at the new Tupelo Music Hall in Salisbury Beach. Time for some blues guitar.
• 22:09 That was louder than expected. Ears are ringing like it was Van Halen or Metallica. Good show! Forgot my camera. E saved the day…er…POD.

• 18:46 Pumped about the Bengals sweeping the Steelers! 5-0 in the AFC North. Cincinnati football teams need one more win over Pittsburgh teams.

• 23:10 WHEW! Loving 10-0! Go Bearcats!
• 23:43 Tip-of-the-Week for Cincinnati expatriates and fans with iPhones: Grab the "iheartradio" app to listen to UC and the Bengals on 700WLW.
• 11:09 Go Buckeyes! Beat the Hawkeyes! (Also pulling for Pitt over ND…so Pitt is highly ranked when UC beats them on Dec 5…all about the BCS).

• 08:31 May have found a commute route that’s slightly less painful. Worn out, but looking forward to the UC game tonight. Go Bearcats!
• 13:42 Boston area peeps: I’m watching the UC vs WVU game tonight at Game On by Fenway. Come on down to watch the Bearcats stomp the Mountaineers.
• 18:17 Hoping the red and white unis don’t affect the Bearcats’ play. I like all black…and I can be a little superstitious. Need my lucky spot.
• 21:13 All hail the gods of touchdown abundance. Thank you for the gift of that last call. Huzzah!

• 10:48 I highly recommend watching "The Way We Get By" on PBS tonight at 9. It’s a film about a group in Bangor who send off and greet US troops.
