Football, Snow, Ear Infections and RokIsland Fest Videos

Much like episodes of Seinfeld, some posts are really about a lot of stuff that equals nothing much.

Another week has come and gone and here we are on another Sunday. It's a big day for my Cincinnati Bengals as they head to Buffalo for the AFC divisional round. It's going to be tough, but I know Burrow and Co. can get it done.

Then there's this: apparently every forecaster in southern Ohio missed the fact that we were going to get a significant winter storm today and it's been snowing hard for hours here. Like, six inches hard or something and there's a snow warning for basically the entire day now. I'm on my final day of antibiotics for yet *another* double ear infection and it isn't clearing. So that, mixed with the snow equals a very crabby glam mistress.

Meanwhile, down in the Florida Keys it is warm and there is no snow. The Rok Island Fest just wrapped up and videos of the performances are appearing online.

Here's Lynch Mob doing "Wicked Sensation"

Here's Jetboy doing "Trouble Comes"

Here's Steven Adler's solo group doing "Night Train" and holy crap, singer Ari Kamin sounds like Axl Rose! I mean, he fronted a Guns n' Roses tribute band in the past, but still. Crazy!

Here's the band doing "Civil War"

Sunday's Best: Week 37, 2022

Today is Patriot Day - the 21st anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Take a moment to remember those lost - and everything that came after.

Join the 9/11 Memorial & Museum from anywhere to take part in active remembrance. Tomorrow, snap a picture of the sky above you – regardless of the weather – and post it to Instagram. Be sure to tag us and use the hashtags #NeverForget911 and #rememberthesky. pic.twitter.com/EyOScKNboK

Today also marks the first Sunday of NFL Week 1! It was a busy and news filled week around the world and in the U.S. Closer to home, Eric and I worked on the house and ordered some new carpet for the bedroom which should be coming by the end of the month. When you're middle aged, new carpet = excitement I guess.

Aerosmith finally got to play their big 50th anniversary show at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday night, and that's our Sunday's Best for this week.

In the days before COVID-19, I had tickets for the Fenway gig. In fact, I bought them literally the minute they went on sale. I rejoined Aero Force One (fan club) to purchase early. I set a timer on my phone and closed the door to my office so I could concentrate. Fast forward and the pandemic shuts down the world, cancels the big concert, I get my money refunded and that was the end of it for me. I was skeptical the show would ever happen, but it did and it was apparently amazing. I know several people who went - and all seem to agree it was worth the money and the wait. I'll have to wait just a little longer because I am seeing Aerosmith in Las Vegas in December.

A fun fact: apparently the Aerosmith anniversary show now holds the record for the most tickets sold to any event at Fenway - ever.

I was looking for good videos of the show to share - and YouTube was literally removing them as soon as I would find them.

Sunday's Best: Week 6, 2022

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! It's an unofficial holiday for Americans today and this one is extra sweet for me because the Cincinnati Bengals made it all the way to the big game... for the first time in 33 years. So my entire day revolves around watching football coverage.

Usually, Super Bowl halftime shows are disappointing, but there have been memorable ones as well, especially Prince performing in the rain and of course Michael Jackson's epic gig in 1993. This year, I have high hopes because the show is featuring some of my favorite 90s hip hop artists. This year we get Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar. I cannot express to you how much Eric loved Snoop Dogg when we were in high school. All in all, I'm hoping for a fun day - a real Sunday's Best. I'm crossing my fingers that the Bengals win and bring the Lombardi trophy home to Cincinnati.

The Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday will feature Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar, marking the first time that hip-hop sits firmly at the center of the annual spectacle. The genre has taken a roundabout path to get there. https://t.co/Os9ODiwUT6
