Although the .mp4 video clip does remind me of some good times down at Delray Beach Florida with our family!
Not much interest in watching the 2018 Winter Olympics?
RichC | February 20, 2018
We really haven’t paid much attention to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, but we did watch a bit of the figure skating the other night (amazing quads) and do enjoy some of the great photos showing up online. Check out this one of Akwasi Frimpong’s Skeleton Debut! Source: Ghana’s Skeleton Hero – The Atlantic
Super Bowl LII – New England Patriots vs Philadelphia Eagles
RichC | February 3, 2018
Once again … those of us who enjoy NFL football are forced to watch the New England Patriots play yet again in a Super Bowl. The last time they met the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl was in 2004, the outcome was 24-21 … which is slightly under margin of victory being predicted this […]
When is the 2018 Super Bowl?
RichC | January 21, 2018
This weekend gave us a “nail-biter and a blowout,” as one writer put it. The Super Bowl will be February 4, 2018 and will be “a rematch of a game we saw less than 15 years ago: Eagles vs. Patriots.” I can’t say I’m really looking forward to it as I don’t care for either team. […]
A restaurant stock with OUR figure skating twist $BWLD
RichC | November 14, 2017
Always interesting when personal stories intersect with financial stories. Roark Capital has made an offer to buy Buffalo Wild Wing Roark Capital has made an offer to buy Buffalo Wild Wings, a source familiar with the matter told CNBC. Roark made an offer of more than $150 per share, the person told CNBC. Shares surged […]
Congrats Houston Astros. It was a great #WorldSeries2017
RichC | November 1, 2017
I sure have enjoyed watching the entire Major League Baseball playoffs in October and World Series ending on November 1st this year, particularly since I’ve turn off the NFL Game 7 on Wednesday night in LA started poorly for the Dodgers as they were quickly down by 5 runs and faced some of the strongest […]
A great World Series game 6 – BIG game 7 tomorrow
RichC | October 31, 2017
Another great World Series game that tied things up 3 games to 3 games. The Dodgers won tonight’s game at home in LA by out hitting the Astros with the final score 3 – 1. It has been excellent Fall Classic baseball. Can’t wait for tomorrow night!
World Series baseball and reading a good book go together
RichC | October 27, 2017
The great thing about watching baseball is that it moves at a pace that makes reading a new book do-able while watching the game. Currently MLB World Series game 3 in Houston has the Astros leading the Dodgers 4 -1 in the 4th after they splitting the game 1 and 2 in LA. It has […]
The NFL off and NASCAR on as another week goes by
RichC | October 15, 2017
Disappointed to be still NOT watching NFL football on Sunday afternoon (week 6), but for the most part there are plenty of autumn chores to keep me busy. Unfortunately the rain came this afternoon and while grabbing a snack at the new kitchen counter, flipped to NASCAR just as I did last weekend. It is […]
Looking forward to MLB Playoffs 2017 beginning this week

The NFL football protests have an unpatriotic aftertaste
RichC | September 26, 2017
Since I’ve been watching the Ken Burns and Lynn Novick PBS Vietnam War 10-part series, it is not surprising that once again that some in the United States have an issue over perceive inequities (or something). Unfortunately peaceful protestors again take it out on those wearing a uniform? Very sad … one would think that […]
MLS player Michael Parkhurst is a great soccer ambassador
RichC | February 6, 2017
This past weekend while killing a few minutes, I had an enjoyable conversation with a nice young man about 2017 Superbowl LI. After finding out I always lived in Ohio, he introduced himself as Mike and ask how I liked growing up in the mid west, saying that he grew up on the east coast. […]
Patriots outplayed the Falcons to win Superbowl 51
RichC | February 5, 2017
The Atlanta Falcons as a team deserve some credit in playing Superbowl LI impressively for three full quarters, until they didn’t in the 4th quarter. The New England Patriots basically slept during the first part of the game and came to life in the 4th quarter. In cardiac arrest inducing fashion, New England mounted the most […]
Thumbprint Radio, Pandora and a friendly, but snidely jab
RichC | January 8, 2017
This WAS going to be a positive and upbeat post about enjoying Pandora’s Thumbprint Radio feature … UNTIL a "friendly" text message came in from my Florida (soon to be Savannah, Georgia) sailing friend Mark telling me he had a cold beer in the fridge waiting for me. How nice to have friends anxious for […]
Tom Brady over 400 yards in win against the Ravens on MNF
RichC | December 13, 2016
Once again the England Patriots lead by the 39 year old Tom Brady pull off another win, this time against the top defense of the Baltimore Ravens. Even with injuries, Brady is able to find new targets and amassed 400 yards to win on a Monday Night Football game. The Ravens didn’t give up as […]
Chicago Cubs are finally World Series Champions
RichC | November 3, 2016
I had the best of intentions in updating a more complete rundown of World Series Game 7 between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, but with extra innings and a rain delay, the game went into the wee hours. Maybe more tomorrow? For now, congratulations to the 2016 World Series Champions the Chicago Cubs […]
Cubs dominate the Indians in game 2 – CHC 5 – CLE 1
RichC | October 27, 2016
The World Series is likely the most watched fall classic by midwestern Major League Baseball fans in a long time as the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs have now split their first two games at Progressive Field in Cleveland. It has been exciting to watch and cheer but ticket prices are shocking even those use […]
Election year burnout relief: The Cubs vs Indians World Series
RichC | October 23, 2016
The Indians will host Games 1 and 2 as well as Games 6 and 7 (if necessary), as a result of the American League’s victory in the All-Star Game this past July. Games 3, 4 and 5 will be played at Wrigley Field. The official schedule for the 2016 World Series (all times Eastern): Game […]
Congratulations 2016 MLB ALCS Champs: Cleveland Indians
RichC | October 20, 2016
It was a great series for the Cleveland Indians and #believeland fans. After only a moment of doubt (last night), the team effort by the Indians made both the series against the Boston Red Sox (3-0) and the championship series against a power hitting bunch from Toronto … the BlueJays (4-1). Tuesday afternoon’s 4th win […]
Tech changes: Another free cloud storage service is gone
RichC | October 19, 2016
Wouldn’t you know, about the time the Cubs find themselves inching closer to a World Series (drought since 1908), the Logmein FREE cloud storage component know as Cubby is being retired. I highlight "free" since paying PRO customers will continue to keep their storage. For me, Cubby has been a regular file exchange option, although […]
Ugly election, Middle East unrest, Economy – October surprise?
RichC | October 18, 2016
Maybe it is just me being a little nervous, but there are a lot of potential triggers for panic. The craziest presidential election I’ve ever seen, a stock market that has risen longer than average between recessions (with tepid economic growth), unrest in the middle east (of course always on fire) and both the Chicago […]
Loving postseason baseball – Indians sweep 3 games
RichC | October 10, 2016
Great to be a Cleveland Indians fan this postseason. They swept all 3 games (3-0) over Boston winning tonight’s game 4 -3. Go Tribe!
Cleveland Cavaliers Win NBA Championship
RichC | June 20, 2016
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors, 93-89, in Game 7 of the NBA Finals for the first title in franchise history. Led by hometown star LeBron James, the Cavaliers fended off the defending champions to give their city its first major sports title in over 50 years. The victory also marked an unprecedented […]
The Great Peyton Manning announces his retirement
RichC | March 7, 2016
Watched a grateful Peyton Manning emotionally announce his retirement today after 18 remarkable years in the NFL. He is a great quarterback (perhaps the greatest), terrific team leader and classy man. Fans of football, no matter which team they favor, will miss his play on the field. Peyton Manning has been considered an elite quarterback […]
An amazing wave and impressive ride #surfing

The 2016 Daytona 500 thrilled even this casual NASCAR fan
RichC | February 22, 2016
Ah … the good ol’ days on Daytona Beach Florida (1958 above) … well before I was born BTW! Last week was SpeedWeeks culminating in the Daytona 500 on Sunday. The biggest NASCAR race was enjoyed by millions of viewers and did not disappoint. The restrictor plate race was tighter than ever and had the […]
The Denver defense dominates Carolina in Superbowl 50
RichC | February 7, 2016
The Denver Broncos defeated the “team to beat, the Carolina Panthers,” this entire season in Superbowl 50. The game was not pretty as it was dominated by defense … particularly outstanding in SB50 was MVP Von Miller. He and his Bronco teammates shut down the self-proclaimed superman Cam Newton and the the high powered Panther offense. […]
A little varnishing before the NFL playoff games
RichC | January 24, 2016
Really, I did plan for a full Sunday afternoon and evening of football watching with my friends Mark and Dar, but couldn't resist the warm sunshine to add a little Cetol (marine varnish product) to the shaded trim around the companionway. Hopefully I won't be too late to miss anything worthwhile in the NFL playoff […]
Alabama over Clemson to become National Champions
RichC | January 12, 2016
College fooball doesn’t get any better than Monday night’s National Championship game between Alabama and unbeaten Clemson. The game came down to the 4th quarter where both team gave it their all. The playing was almost unbelievable on both sides of the ball. The game eventually turned on an Alabama score and surprise short on-sides kickoff […]
Bengals lose in losers fashion – PIT 18 – CIN 16
RichC | January 10, 2016
As a long time Cincinnati Bengals fan, I officially am no long going to declare them “my team.” Marvin Lewis needs to go as he has permitting poor sportsmanship and penalties all season long … and the stupidity continued Saturday night in self-destructive fashion. The costly misbehavior and penalties in the final seconds of the […]
VW should hire a new FAST – the Bengals Andy Dalton
RichC | November 11, 2015
An uncanny resemblance: Volkswagen's “FAST” and the Cincinnati Bengals Andy Dalton.
The Cincinnati Bengals remain undefeated: 8-0 #TNF
RichC | November 6, 2015
It was an exciting night watching the Cincinnati Bengals host the Cleveland Browns on CBS's Thursday Night Football. We call it “the battle for Ohio” and the game pits my TWO home teams against each other (we lived 13 years in Cleveland). This year it is more important than ever for the Bengals as they […]
Bengals 16 – Steelers 10. Not pretty but another win.
RichC | November 2, 2015
This should have been a weekend working on autumn chores like raking leaves or closing the pool, but instead I tinkered around in the garage (and “on” the garage) on Saturday while the weather was “so-so” and then watched football on Sunday when the weather was nice. The excuse I'm using is that the Cincinnati […]
Future Olympian, maybe — No pain, no gain. #fail

Ouch! That’s gotta hurt …
New Balance Shoes: Great product and made in the U.S.A
RichC | June 11, 2015
Although I still own and wear an old pair of New Balance athletic shoes, this is a reminder post to myself (posted before) to consider the New Balance brand when replacing my current Sketchers (no complains as they are great shoes too). I liked the comments in the video (below) and article on CNBC about […]
Enjoyed the 3 wide racing in the #Daytona500 this afternoon
RichC | February 22, 2015
Joey Legano took the win in 2015’s NASCAR’s season opening race, the Daytona 500, with an exciting finish with the yellow flag waving due to a wreck in the rear of the field. The racers bunched for a restart after cleaning up with 3 laps to go and there was no looking back for Legano. […]
Superbowl XLIX Patriots vs Seahawks — still tied?
RichC | February 1, 2015
(Edited image above to reflect final score) Ok, so that was a bit of a tease since it’s still a few hours before the 6:30 PM kickoff as we wait for what is debatably the biggest sporting event of the year, the Superbowl (thinking World Cup). Anyway the marketeers have been out in force prepping […]
NFL Playoffs … and then there were two
RichC | January 19, 2015
Football was on call for Sunday afternoon and evening with the final two NFL playoff games. First was perhaps the most exciting game I’ve watched in a long time seeing the conservative play-calling of the Green Bay Packers dominate the first 3 quarters of football. Then last years Superbowl champs lead by Russell Wilson came […]

RichC | January 13, 2015
The first ever College Football Playoff Championship game will determine this season’s best college team as the National Championship game starts in about and hour. The game with see the Pac-12 champion Oregon Ducks against “our” Big Ten champion Ohio State Buckeyes. Odds makers favor the Ducks by 7. Both teams have have had an […]
Oregon Ohio will make a name change for a day
RichC | January 4, 2015
This story hits home on two accounts … 1) Oregon, Ohio is a suburb of Toledo, Ohio where I went to school until moving to Sidney, Ohio in high school. 2) As an Ohio State fan and resident of Ohio my entire life, I’m excited to see my Buckeyes play the College Football National Championship […]
