I am a sports junkie, so I enjoy each days’s writing. But I may even be more interested in in music so equally enjoy the song of the day.of the day. As I thought about it, I felt that I needed to add a couple more slow songs for your contemplation. Have I Told You Lately That I Love You by Van Morrison or. Then You Can Me Goodbye by local heroes, the Casinos..
One of the Bengals greatest defensive players explains how he wrote one of the greatest slow dance songs of all time. Cool video. Bonnie Raitt probably covers this song best, but Adele sounds so smack dab perfect too. Kevin Green, It's one of the ones on your list today. Heart-breakingly beautiful. Enjoy.
One of your best ever! Thanks for coming back and not sitting around and waiting to die. Don’t forget “Shout”, by the Isley Brothers. Al McGuire always said you can put your hands on the centers, but don’t get physical with a guard they’ll fight you. We walked many nights from St. Bernard to Cincinnati Gardens and snuck in the back door to see the Royals. The current Big East is a very competitive league with a great announcer in Bill Raftery! I drove Rolly Masimino and a few coaches to the airport and heard more stories than you could imagine and they loved their beer!
From reading the comments about drinking holes, it seems to me that mobsters unwittingly commingle with other mobsters so much that a graveyard full of Habsburgs are blushing.

Now is when I begin following teams other than the Muskies. Love to see them taking full advantage of opportunities without Freemantle.
Heard of the snowplow parent, and have witnessed. With kids of my own now, I feel conflicted. Sure I want them to have the good old fashioned bootstrap motivation and to mercilessly experience the cruelty of the real world so as to hopefully gain gratitude, perspective, and work ethic. Then I think back to my own life and am not so sure. In HS I flipped burgers for a pittance and studied. That was it. Minimal social life, no sports, negligible extra-curriculars which led to thin college applications.
Once I got to college I felt like I had to make up for some valuable good-timing (mission accomplished), yet I still had to work. And I couldn't afford career-oriented, low/no-paying jobs or internships that would give me lasting professional experience and connections. It was blue-collar grunt work in an environment that didn't exactly inspire me to my full potential.
I didn't need a snowplow, but could have used a few lead blockers. And the older I get, the more I question the nobility of the 'path of most resistance'. There's also the issue of 'to whom much is given, much is expected'...are we supposed to just ignore the resources at our disposal?
The first two songs I slow danced to at a party in junior high were 'Surfer Girl' and 'She cried'. I played in rock bands in high school until I got my first real job at 21. We usually had to play 2 slow songs per set and it was always hard to find popular songs that fit our talents. Luckily our drummer had a great voice and the bass player's voice was white soul. The most popular songs were 'Dont Let the Sun Catch you Crying', 'Hey Jude', 'I Love You More Than You Will Ever Know' (BS&T), and 'Easy to Be Hard'. We occasionally messed up the title for the last one. It was great to be young. I think I played in a band so I would never have to learn to fast dance.

No reason for an OG to go to a restaurant on the WPW…working people’s weekend. Since every day is your weekend, Doc, make Tuesday Saturday. Easy reservations anywhere except Sotto and plenty of parking.
You were working on your game in 6th grade? Tommy James and the Shondells! Mrs. Doc didn't stand a chance with the smoothness developed over the years. Probably work the Van Morrison on her too. You were and are still A PLAYA....!
For me it was big hair. Every rose has its thorn was always a winner.
We’ve had the same experiences at the same restaurants. Great places, but call way in advance on the weekends. Check out Plain Folk Live if you haven’t already. Great atmosphere and live music. We haven’t been there since the new owners took over, but we plan on returning soon.
Doc, I know exactly what you are saying about my favorite haunts. LMBC Milford, my favorite, a pint was $7 a year ago and included the tax. Still $7 but now they add tax and a CC fee if you don't pay cash. Doubt it will stop me from going. That is not to mention parking in both Loveland and Milford is terrible. Always but worse in the warm months. At least LMBC has their own lot.
Dead Low is a good one, we always sit at the bar. We like it because the food is better than most breweries, and our son is a bartender. James probably took care of you on Saturday, I hope you tipped him well!
Micky was one of my favorites.

You see no correlation?

Gerry and the pacemakers: Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying, or You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, The Righteous Brothers.
"It's late at night
And we're all alone
Just the music on the radio..."
And we're "Slow Dancing,
Swaying To The Music"
Doc, I gotta tell you, many sweet memories were made while dancing to this tune in the 70's.

There's a food grade CO2 shortage and that's been what's driving up beer prices.
