Remind me to tell you about...

  • The two times I got free beer from restaurants
  • The time I got to make a fool of myself at the Dayton Dragons' baseball game

Wings and Brewskies!

Tonight our family(Mom, Jennie, Keisha, and I) went to B.C. Rooster's just up the Main Street for some wings:

The three of us adults each had a Killian's, while Keisha sipped from a ROOT beer. We ordered our usual 10 garlic- and 10 donkey-flavored, but instead of barbeque we ordered teryaki-flavored. Donkey, by the way, is like three levels lower than the hottest. In addition to the wings and beer, we had celery and bleu cheese. Keisha ordered her mini corn dog meal, which included french fries.

Then, about an hour later, I headed to Middletown, Ohio, just south on I-75, to the Fricker's. A good friend and brother in Christ is getting married on Sunday, and we had his groom-honoring/bachelor party there. More wings and beer. This time it was a Bud Light. Lots of fun, and the Cincinnati Reds won! Whoo hoo!

The Listeners Make the Playlists

I just completed another music survey for K99.1 FM. This is the third time this year that I've done it. It's interesting how they are introducing new songs and playing older songs.

I used to work for the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati, conducting telephone surveys. I was intrigued by how the questions were worded.

My nature in taking these and other surveys tends to wondering why I'm being asked the particular question, and wondering how my response will affect the decisions those using the results will make.

I know this guy personally, but I've never spent much time at his website. I should. Maybe you all will like it, too.

The Age: You probably think this song is about you

After reading the article, I'm confused. What if you like them all?

What are YOU doing this weekend?

How about an old-fashioned, wild horse stampede?

Commuting and Housing Data for 13 Metro Areas

The U.S. Newswire reports that the U.S. Census Bureau released new housing and commuting data for 13 metropolitan areas:

The 2002 American Housing Survey, sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, includes statistics on such journey-to-work topics as mode of transportation, departure time for work, travel time and distance from home to work. Also included is information on housing topics: for example, presence of refrigerators, microwaves and air-conditioning; number of rooms; housing deficiencies.
Dayton-Springfield was not on the list. Neither was the Greater Cincinnati area.

I haven't done the Geek Code thingy, but I saw that Pega had done this, so I tried it:

Misworded sign: the Ohio Direction card is the current version of the food stamp program. I think they meant to say "accept."
