Actual photo of Greater Cleveland over the past 10 days
As I look out my window, I am noticing something that is stunning me. The sky outside has taken on this light blue hue that must be some sort of chemical reaction that has been released into the atmosphere over Northeast Ohio. Someone should alert the authorities.
The Fall was always a time in the year that I truly looked forward to. It was a time when the leaves changed colors, the temperatures cooled down, and football was getting started. Enjoying the changing colors, along with my affinity for cold weather and football made it the perfect time of the year. Beer takes on a different taste and we all start preparing ourselves for the impending doom of winter. Its our last opportunity to enjoy the outdoors before we lock ourselves inside for 4 to 5 months.
I have been training over the past few months for the Columbus Half Marathon that will take place in a little under two weeks. I would like to claim I am prepared, but I don't feel that I am. With a long of 8 miles thus far, I don't see how I will finish without breaking my goal of not walking. I know I still have time, but I am going to have to dig deep.
Something that is in worse shape that my training in the Ohio State Football program, which continues to blindly follow this douchebag of an AD, Gene Smith. It came out yesterday that two of the suspended players, and an additional offender accepted more payment than was appropriate for summer jobs, and will thus be suspended for this upcoming weekends drubbing at the hands of Nebraska. Smith is continuing his defense that "it's a few bad apples and not a loss of institutional control." This is the same guy that ran Jimmy T out of town, putting the blame solely upon his shoulders. Fuck you, Gene Smith. Your head needs to be the next to roll.
After watching the offensive ineptitude that OSU displayed against Michigan State, I am debating watching the assured dismantling at the hands of the Cornhuskers. OSU's season will be like a car crash to me: I don't want to watch, but I can't look away.
In tech news, Apple is supposed to unveil the next iPhone's. If I didn't have one, I would care, and if they weren't set to release an iOS update that is a game changer I would care. I am more amped for the iOS launch than seeing the new phones.
Anyway, my beer selections of the week are Southern Tier Pumking and Thirsty Dog Barktoberfest.
Both are great autumn brews that will keep your insides warm when the mercury starts to drop. I know everyone is washing the balls of Yuengling because they finally released it in Ohio, but these two choices are only available during this time of the year, so don't pass 'em up.
Cheers,
Bobbaganoosh
