cincinnati ain’t so bad…
tuesday jen and i hit the town! after my haircut (i pay a lot at a downtown joint, but it’s worth it) and meeting my mom for lunch, jen and i headed for sawyer point down by the river. jen had only been down there like once or twice. we walked all over the place.
they’ve got a new “international” park which is cool and a new play area for the kids - yeah, i was swinging and jumping around and climbing too! we wandered over the “ugly purple” pedestrian bridge to newport on the levee and into the big barnes and noble. got some ice cream at the cold stone creamery - i got peanut butter ice cream with graham cracker pie crust mixed in - yum!
it was a wonderful day! and we had beautiful weather - a great flow into fall! i wish i had some pics to post, but we didn’t think about bringing the camera along.
also, last weekend’s “oktoberfest” was very nice too. (some would say it’s not quite as german as it should be, but we enjoyed - and stuffed - ourselves.)
There are a lot of great things about Cincy, but one that I’m not missing at all are the over-abundance of overcast (grey) days. At least, compared with Tucson there’s an over-abundance.
My attempt to google “sunny days tucson” came up with this unexpected result. Not exactly my experience, but a funny story non-the-less.
Sounds like you and Jen are still getting along nicely. Any town looks good when you’ve got a great girl by your side!
Take care –
Aaron
ok, you win. it’s raining and gloomy here today. but sorta in a nice way.
oh yeah, funny article! i was out in tucson back in 1986 visting my aunt and uncle and found it pleasant. i don’t know if i could handle that much heat! jen could - she’s always cold!
