It's an awesome place with amazing food! Their Sunday Brunch is fabulous! They are great people and The Parkview is a great place!

SPECTACULAR VIEWS FROM TERMINAL TOWER

For years, I have driven past The Terminal Tower wondering what it would look like looking down on the city from such an amazing vantage point. It has been a long time goal for me to go to the top and see such a spectacular view of Cleveland....

PETE YORN

I saw PETE YORN play Newport in Columbus on Sunday night! He's a hugely under-rated artist with a ton of great songs. He sounded awesome!

GOLF AT BOULDER CREEK...

Golf at BOULDER CREEK was spectacular yesterday. It was a gorgeous day on an amazing golf course. EVERY hole was a post-card. The Fall colors were beautiful! It was one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I have ever played....
Hole 17 is a wonderful par 3...for the record, I got a par... : )



BUENOS DIAS!!

I stopped by COZUMEL for lunch in Independence with my friend ANDY BASKIN from NEWSCHANNEL 5 a couple of days ago...We had a great lunch and a very FESTIVE time! LOL : )

AWESOME PIC!

I snapped this pic on my iphone the other night while biking. I had no idea how good the picture was until after I got home. I snapped this pic very near where I live. I love this time of year, it makes for a very enjoyable evenign bike ride.

SUNDAY MORNING BLOGGIN'.....

It's Sunday morning and I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and lookin' back on the week that was....
I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the LeBron James movie "MORE THAN A GAME". When I first heard of the movie, I thought it was waaaaay too early for him to have a movie. I didn't realize that the sole focus was on his high school team and all they had gone through. The movie is awesome and great for all ages. I highly recommend seeing it. If you are a CAVS fan or sports fan in general, it's a great story. I don't want to give away the movie, but, LeBron ends up doing pretty good for himself..... : )

For quite some time, I have wanted to go check out the spectacular view from the 55th floor of The Key Tower. I finally had my chance this week while attending a networking gathering earlier this week...

I snapped this pic on my iphone at The Q during the CAVS pre-season game against GREECE.

My daughter Gabby is still sidelined from soccer with a foot injury. We hung out watching the other kids play on Saturday morning at Smith Park. The X-ray below is showing a growth-plate injury...uh, whatever that means....I miss watching her play....

It's BROWNS/STEELERS week. My friend NORM hung up this sign outside my favorite bar HOOPPLES. Yes, the Steelers have won 11-straight...and yes, it's been a brutal season so far for the BROWNS...but somehow, I have this vibe that the BROWNS are gonna win 20-17....

...more later.. be@peace.
