Ira - writing backwards on the clear wx board! He was certainly good at that!
Nick - I just love Nick Clooney!!! If he moved to Ohio, ran for office, I'd vote for him! Ah, but he's running for office in KY, his home-state. To those that don't realize this, Northern KY is our neighbor in Cincinnati - cities such as Maysville (where the Clooney's are from, that would be GEORGE's family too) are along the Ohio River, just as Cincy is along the same river. I think we all look at that river as if it's one big highway, just something that separates us from our southern friends. I always wonder if people really understand all of this when they hear Cincy folks say they remember the Clooney's well, but then realize they're from KY! Or that our Cincy airport is in KY! Now that is one that's hard to figure out. Guess the Hyde Park or Indian Hill (our two richest Cincy surburbs) folks didn't want an airport built there way back when? But we all call it the Cincinnati airport. LOL Well to be technical, Greater Cincinnati Airport. Back to Nick and family. He and his wife Nina were patients in the doc's office I worked at from 1975-1985. Nina is just so nice, equally as nice as Nick - gracious, kind and so pretty (former beauty queen). So we office workers enjoyed talking to the Clooney's back then when they'd come in. Nick never sat in a chair while waiting to be called back to a room - he would stand at our reception counter and talk with US! Definitely a people person. That's why he'll do well in politics I think. I even named my daughter after Nina Clooney, in a way. I just loved her name too! So when I got pregnant, Nina Bosken sounded so well together! Then when George made the big time on ER, I would say my Nina is named after George's Mom! Kind of but hopefully you get my meaning. When people like the Clooney's make a very positive impression on you, it just stays with you. Similar to how you feel Eric. And Jeremy, I predict your heart is going to stay with Channel 12. That station has always, always, managed to hire the best anchormen/women, met's, etc. I don't know what their secret is but they have that gift for seeing true talent. Contrast that to Channel 5, where former anchorman Jerry Springer resided for years (and was popular to give him due credit) and I rest my case! Somehow I just can't see Nick ever doing a show like the Jerry Springer. I rest my case twice!
Got off on a tangent there!!! Swinging this back to your big day Jeremy! Glad it was a good one!!! Hope you get to that skatepark today but it sure looks stormy today! You might want to get there early. My youngest daughter Laura is into extreme sports and keeps wanting to see it. One of these we'll take her there.
