Saturday Surprise

I’m excited about tonight. I’m not going to spend the night at Rock Bottom, it’s still awesome, but I’m going to venture outside of the land of the Cleves for a little dinner at a place in Lakewood. I also have a stop at one of my favorite Cleveland haunts. I’ll talk more about them tomorrow after this evening.

Sometimes it’s nice to do something different and experience places where you haven’t gone before too much. I’d argue with anyone that there’s nothing to do in Greater Cleveland. Finding things to do in the fall is a little more challenging than finding stuff in the middle of summer. Quite frankly, I’m happy to be free of all of the summer events. We’ll do them all again next year and it’ll be fun.

For now, it’s time to embrace what’s coming our way, more fall and winter. There’s skiing to be done this winter, I’m looking forward to it because I have some new skis. I can’t wait to get them out on the slopes. Hopefully, I’ll get to go to New York for the first time to see what those slopes are like. I also suppose I have to invest in some of the newest skiware, you don’t want to be seen on the slopes without the proper attire. It’s been a while, no snow skiing in South Texas.

Fall and winter bring the holidays and I’m looking forward to them more this year than ever. It’s going to be great. There is a lot of activities on the horizon. Still more Browns games with Kevin and one that Kevin is taking a pass on and allowing me to take someone. Jason Mraz, with backstage possibilities, two days before Thanksgiving, then there’s the holiday and then a Colts vs. Browns game.

I also have to get a trip to Detroit in before it gets nasty out there. Maybe I’ll cross into Canada to stop at one of my favorite places across the border, I hope it’s still there. It’s called Kildare House and it’s great. I fell in love with the little joint when I lived in Michigan.

Finally, I want to congratulate my friend, Beau, for his upcoming wedding in February. I’m going down to South Texas (specifically South Padre Island) for the big event. I’m confident he’s found a girl who he’s prepared to spend the rest of his life with. It’s amazing how things change so fast. He’s one of my great friends and I’m happy to be part of his wedding. It’s truly special when someone asks you to stand up for them during a wedding ceremony and I’ll happily do so. So congratulations Beau & Angel, I can’t wait to be there for that special day in February.

But what I’m looking forward to most of all right now, is a special surprise night this evening,
