Now that I finally found an easy way to blog photos from my phone, I plan on doing it as much as possible and for increasingly meaningless reasons.

This was my view at practice tonight. Staring right into the sun.

It’s been building for a while, but as of tonight I officially have a schoolboy crush on S. E. Cupp.

One of the first posts on this blog was about the big stupid Jesus statue along I-75. Ove the past few years it’s really become an icon of our trips down 75. My kids use it to judge how close we are to Kings Island. Before PNC took over National City, we had to drive to the Tylersville exit to the nearest PNC if we needed to do banking in person for some reason. For all of those trips, the creepy statue was a indicator that I was getting close…making headway on my journey to the bank.

Well, last night either mother nature or God himself finally had enough:

There’s an entire article about it here (you may need to register). I also read a follow-up that says they plan to rebuild. Bigger and creepier, I’m sure.

Here’s to you, creepy statue.

I can’t believe I forgot to post this on Saturday. We (and by we, I mean my wife) found this guy in the one bathroom vanity just waiting for an unsuspecting child to eat. I was promptly awakened from my early morning slumber and instructed to remove our unwanted guest. I winced like a girl, scooped him up and stuck him on the curb near the neighbors mailbox and went back to sleep.

It was honestly the biggest spider I’ve ever seen that wasn’t in a zoo setting or someone’s pet. I think at one point it barked at me – or roared or growled or something.
