Lucky #13 for the Unicorn. 🦄🐐⚾️🇯🇵💙🦄🐐⚾️🇯🇵💙

Since I have moved, I am finding ways to share different types of travel videos. Today and tomorrow, I have a two-part vlog from my recent visit to the Lehigh Valley. Today’s video is a tour of the old Bethlehem Steel factory. Give it a watch.

Happy Mothers Day to all of the good mothers out there, and the motherly figures in our lives.

A three-run bomb in the 9th with the game tied at 11. He truly is the best to ever do it!!!!!!!!! 🦄🐐⚾️🇯🇵💙🦄🐐⚾️🇯🇵💙

How do you take a vow of poverty and get seats like that for the World Series?

Happy Birthday, John Brown. He was a deeply Christian Republican. If it is true that the parties never switched, I would think there would be tons of Republicans praising him today. Funny how that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Lorde tour announced!!!!!!!!!

Today we celebrate a man who is infallible, and the new Pope. Number 11 for Shohei Ohtani!!!!!!!!! 🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️

I caught a Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs game in Allentown, PA tonight, and MLB’s #1 overall prospect was in town for the Worcester Red Sox.

My co-host Maz had to get some things off her chest about JK Rowling before we spend the next few weeks fawning over the good aspects of Epic Universe starting next week.

The Pope: I was raised to believe that those who suffer greatly in the short term will one day see the glory of the Promised Land. Reporter: Right, because you are Catholic. The Pope: No, because I am a White Sox fan.

Walked along the ruins of the old Bethlehem Steel Factory in Bethlehem, PA. What an amazing piece of history.

Sleeping beauty.

this internet was a mistake, but sometimes it’s the best thing ever created

Absolutely crushed his 10th homer of the year. 🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️

Back in Miami, and back to hitting dingers in Miami. 🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️

Waited three hours through a rain delay to see Roki Sasaki’s first MLB win, Shohei Ohtani homering, and the Dodgers taking the series against Atlanta.

Rachel’s Creperie in Downtown Lancaster after spending some time at ArtWalk. No disrespect to Arizona. We missed you, Lancaster.

Torching Atlanta like he’s General Sherman. Home run #8 on the year.

This week’s episode of Tall Guy Talks Travel with Rick Dougherty focuses on the creation and first few years of Disney-MGM Studios. It is impossible to tell the story of former-Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner without a deep dive into Walt Disney World’s third theme park.

You’re welcome, @sarahsays13.bsky.social, @matoaka23.bsky.social, and @stardustpirate.bsky.social.

Boom. Great way to start the game. #7 for Ohtani! 🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️🦄🐐🇯🇵💙⚾️

Working at my desk; look over at Róisín; and where is that camera?

Going through postcards to frame and put on my bookcase for Zoom interviews, etc. This one from the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, OK is getting a prominent spot. “All you Fascists bound to lose.”

Alan Alda directing M*A*S*H episodes in the late-1970s.

Got a free @hersheypark.bsky.social ticket with my Harrisburg Senators ticket today.

For the second-straight week, Sarah and I talk about the evolution of Disney’s California Adventure. A fun conversation about a theme park that has seen a lot of changes.

I never got the chance to post last week’s episode of the travel podcast, but we still got 5.1K views on YouTube for the first part of our talk about DCA. We continue the conversation tomorrow, so you won’t want to miss it.

Happy birthday to the coolest park at Walt Disney World!!!!!! @stardustpirate.bsky.social

Alanis Morissette tribute band Jagged Little Thrill last night in Lititz, PA. It was a great show.
