My stay on IR gets heavy tomorrow. Surgery on my heart to replace the aorta,valve & an artery. Blessed to have this done at the Cleveland Clinic the very best for heart care. I’ll be back soon w/more energy than ever! Prayers welcomed and yes HE has me by the hand.
A tie of Fred’s from Beth McLeod. Beth noted Fred would always say w/a smile “you gotta have a good tie guy" so she went through his ties & sent some out. He was special to me and many. Truly I’m honored:humbled/blessed. There are tears w/my smile. Miss you & love you Fred.
Gotta be a fact stata here! When I announced on 6/29 I was having heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic the

Truly a special day as 28 years ago we each said “I do.” She’s a Wife, Mother, Survivor, Pro at handling me and my Gal. Love you forever and always.

We sent BOO on his next adventure. He is roaming endless fields filled with squirrels, chipmunks, bunny rabbits. So many THANKS go out to the caring, kind staff at the Avon Lake Animal Clinic. No more wrestling or seeing his face by the door. This sucks. Thanks for the hugs.
30 years ago after saying “We do” we left our wedding Mass at Sacred Heart in Coshocton and hopped in a carriage to the reception with music from McGuffey Lane. Love you always

HC job! Haslam and depodesta nonsense. Jimmy please sell...ASAP!
Why watch
@browns
tonight is a valid statement. I will watch because: 1) A win puts them 1 win away from a winning record (no pats on the back but still more W's than L's); 2) Knock stillers out of playoffs; 3) Beat ben.
I have been diminished by
@MattLoede
passing. He was the kind of friend who made my soul smile. I know he's in his GLORY but he'll be missed. Prayers for strength for Shanna. The holes in our hearts will take time to heal. MATT will always be in our hearts. Love you Brother.
Many saw my photo last night with a beer, shot, cigar. It was more than hedonistic delights. One of my dearest friends in the world left us a week ago. 2 days before his passing he said to me "Memorial Day Weekend...shots, beers, smokes.” Love ya' CHA-always w/me & others.
John Adams our beloved Cleveland Baseball bleachers drummer 🥁 has been called Home at 71. Dang. John’s mantra was “I just wanna bang on my drum all day (and night).” No doubt he is in his Glory but along with Hammie, Rosie plus Matty and Arch, JOHN was our soundtrack of Summer!

Sad day…Les Levine was called home 3 years ago today. At dinner with
@AndyBaskin
, Michael Friedman and Steve Smylie. Les was a mentor, friend and brother plus he welcomed me to Heaven and sent me back!
Yesterday was my Mom’s 103rd birthday. She did not make it to 70. Dang cancer. I needed to go to St. Clair Ave and her Slovenian roots to honor her memory and remember her from childhood homes. Rosie was a special woman. Always in my heart and soul. Love you Mom.
What was your favorite "JOE TAIT-ism"? I am certain all of them but "WHAM WITH THE RIGHT HAND" will last in perpetuity and of course we cannot forget "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus! And he come's from Lubbock, Texas!" Thank you Joe...RIP.

Another day of tears paying respects to
@mattloede
at the Cleveland Baptist Church. We cried and prayed together as Matt would have wanted us to do. Our Brother and friend has been laid to rest but he will always be in the hearts of so many.
34 years ago today I walked into your room Mom and saw an Angel sitting on the side of your bed. She told me “you were Home now and in your Glory.” You are always in my heart. Thank you for all you gave me.
The

Thanks Dad for showing me and putting the love for this great game in me, for taking me to games when you got back up at 5a to go the plant, for instilling loyalty for Cleveland Baseball in me! Hey Dad wanna have a catch?

Congrats to Doug Dieken on his retirement. Diek is more than a good man, he’s a good good man. Paying tribute to Nev, Casey and Jimmy shows he gets it. Took me in when I was doing network pre, 1/2 time and post. Thank you Diek…long may you run.
When it hits you that the greatest comeback ever was actually Jesus dying on Friday and coming back later that same weekend. Happy Easter. HE is risen.
It's THIS GUYS birthday! Happy 27th to our oldest! From the ICU at Fairview Hopital to taking a knee after his last Varsity college football game he has not stopped. Keep moving forward. We LOVE you!
