Erik to Cincy

Rigby has his first ear infection and second cold. He is such a trooper. He barely complains (cries/yells) and he had a 102 degree temperature. He went to the doctor to get checked out and get prescription drugs. He weighed in at 19 lbs., 9 ozs. and 27.5 inches long. He is a big boy!

Rigby is starting to grab at everything, smile at mom and dad, and laugh heartily. He is so much fun.

We are doing great. Both working hard and loving every moment with our son.

I went to Cincinnati last week en route to see a University of Kentucky basketball game. I stopped in to see friends at University of Cincinnati and to gloat on the big Xavier win over the Bearcats (again!). I walked through Xavier's campus and visited the Cintas Center, where hoops reign.

Oh, first thing we did when we hit Cincinnati? Skyline Chili!

I spent the evening and into the early morn with some of my Xavier classmates. That was a great time to catch up and visit a new and old haunt of ours.

The UK - South Carolina game was awesome. UK won by one. We sat in the press row "crow's nest" which hangs off the second tier. The main press row is now occupied by wealthy season ticket holders.

We also got to sit in on the post-game press conference and listen to head coach Tubby Smith.

Not much fun winter weather in Chattanooga - just a lot of rain. I suppose I am now ready for Spring.
