I did not watch the game on Sunday. Didn't watch the doggies play, the half time show, go to a party, or anything else. HOWEVER... if you did partake, I hope you had a lot of fun! It's a big day for sports and food. Now comes the hard part for a lot of people - going to work or school on Monday! LOL.

Either way - if you plan to go to work or call in ***cough cough "sick" cough cough*** good luck on getting through the day after :)

My mom and I had some business to attend to on Thursday afternoon. Once we were done, we wanted dinner. We chose to go to one of our all time favorites...Luigi's!

Their food is delicious! For several years now I have gotten a pizza with pepperoni and sausage. However, when I was younger I would always get the lasagna. I had forgotten how good that is. I tried it again a couple months ago and have been on a Luigi's lasagna kick lately.

Don't forget the bread! Plus I almost always get a salad with cheese - that's a MUST! 

They will always be a staple on my list of places to eat.

The Guardians released the 2023 promotional schedule for fans on Wednesday! There will be 16 fireworks nights, nine Dollar Dog nights, and other fun for fans. One day, there will be a Triston McKenzie jersey giveaway (among others). You could end up with a bobblehead of Kwan or Clase, or on May 13th you could get a replica Gold Glove Award from 2022 (they play the LA Angels that day).

Of course there will be Larry Doby Day, and in August (vs. Detroit) they will induct at least one new member into the team HOF. Should be a fun summer at Progressive Field!

Earlier this week, Metropolis Popcorn sent the station some samples of flavors for a Valentine's Day theme. One was Chocolate Covered Cherry, another was Cinnamon Red Hots. But the one I wanted to try was the Chocolated Covered Strawberry!

Dang! It DID NOT disappoint! YUM!!! No matter what time of year, no matter the occasion, stop in to Metropolis Popcorn in Cuyahoga Falls or Hudson to treat yourself to some wonderful popcorn! You won't be disappointed.

So the trucks hauling all of the equipment to Phoenix for Spring Training for the Guardians left late last week! Pitchers and catchers report Wednesday of next week, and other players report Sunday the 19th! Do I hear Spring in the air??

Before we know it, we'll be listening to Spring Training games on the radio. Then you blink, and it'll be time to fill Progressive Field for the 2023 season! A true sign that Spring is almost here :)

GO GUARDS!

The old joke was that Saturday night at the grocery store was kinda reserved for singles to meet, mingle, and pick each other up...I think times have changed. I went grocery shopping around 7:00 Saturday night (not looking for a date, I SWEAR! I was out of everything... lol) and I could almost count the number of people shopping with me!

I think with the invention of dating apps, people are going there looking for dates rather than the produce aisle. I will say it was quite nice though - I was in, got everything I needed, and was out probably in less than 15 minutes :).

Thursday wasn't JUST Groundhog Day. On that date (February 2, 1974) Dolly Parton gained her 2nd #1 hit with Jolene! I love the song - possibly my favorite of hers. I know it was my dad's favorite Dolly song as well.

The story behind the song is so interesting, and the story told IN the song is one that is such a common feeling among all people. In case you aren't aware - Dolly says her inspiration from the song came from a bank teller that would flirt with her husband Carl, which obviously made Dolly feel uncomfortable.

Almost 50 years later and her music is still loved like it was brand new. I think that deserves the status of icon.

Yep, it's that time of year again - where America wakes up early to find out if a rodent is going to say Spring is coming early or not, lol. I've never been like Phil Connors to travel to Gobbler's Knob to experience the whole day, and I don't put much into what the groundhog says when humans with computer technology can't even get it right!

Either way, Happy Groundhog Day whether you celebrate or not. And if you have seen the movie (who hasn't?), whenever you are in a restaurant and hear plates drop on the floor, say what I do..."Set that down anywhere!" :)

A couple days ago, we learned of John Adams' death. If you have been a Cleveland baseball fan at any point since the '70s you know who he is. He was the guy with the drum sitting out in the bleachers who rarely missed a game. In fact, it's calculated he attended over 3,700 games since 1973!

Growing up here in the '90s and going to games I always thought it was a recording when I was little. Then my dad explained that nope, John Adams is sitting out in the bleachers doing that in person...I was amazed. I personally thought to myself I knew I couldn't do what he did - sit through all of those slow pitchers duels, the rain delays, extra innings etc. I'm glad he did though. It made for a very unique baseball experience at Progressive Field. Guardians games won't be the same without the sound of John's drum from the top of the bleachers in left field.

Calling hours are this Friday and his funeral is at St John's Cathedral in Downtown Cleveland on Saturday. John Adams was 71. RIP.

I had another one! Sometime on Monday I had a weird dream that was work related this time. In this one, all of us at WQMX went on a fieldtrip and took the station on the road...to Columbia,SC. HAHA

All of us were broadcasting from a 19th century themed inn that we were staying at. We were in the ballroom with a lot of locals hanging out and listening to us in person. Then, in the evening we would go to another room for movie night.

Let me tell you though...these people were STRANGE!!! lol. That's the only way I know how to describe it. At least my dreams keep me laughing!
