One of my favorite things to do in Cincinnati is attend hockey games. The crowd is always great, the tickets are cheap, and there's always a deal for food or beer!
Cincinnati has a great team called the Cyclones and last year they won the Kelly Cup (the big deal of the league they play in)! It was a super exciting time! Anyway, now we're on to this season. So far, things aren't going the best but that didn't stop me from being ready for opening night! The first home game was Saturday night and I had bought tickets for Andy and I on the day they went on sale. We got to our seats--center ice, right behind the players' benches and were stoked, I'd done good! Or rather, I hadn't...while it was awesome being that close to the players and ice, it wasn't so stupendous when the coaches and trainers and players and everyone stood up and blocked a lot of our view. Perhaps this was for the best though as the Cyclones didn't do so great and lost by more than they should have...
Anyway, if anyone's reading this--come visit, I'll take you to a game--and I'll get us better seats!
And their mascot, Twister, is amazing!

This year
for Halloween, I did a bunch of nothing. Really, my favorite holiday and I didn't even have a costume.
I got a bit in the spirit on Friday--I at least wore bat socks, orange and black, and passed out candy to folks at work. They seemed to appreciate it and enjoyed how I had the candy put together. I used this box I keep tea in and everyone seemed to think it looked coffin-like :) Afterward I folded up one of those little origami boxes with a lid and filled it with candy for one co-worker's kids. They sometimes make pictures for me and they helped me make hot cocoa mix when I visited their house once--I even let them borrow my Punky Brewster dvds once...see, I'm nice sometimes!
Last Sunday Heather and I attended "The Haunted"--a ballet put on by The Lexington Ballet. It was awesome! I loved all the music and they had some great lighting. As it went on I found myself figuring out which dancers I like best, etc. There are some photos up on their facebook page if anyone's interested. Hopefully it becomes a tradition.
Next weekend is Scarefest, hopefully that does the job and fills my Halloween spirit.
