Only 7 days left! Run out to Kroger now to pick up your canned goods and bottled water because the Cincinnati is about to close for 2 years. Hurry to Paul Brown Stadium, Mt. Adams, Newport on the Levee, Great American Ballpark, Union Terminal, Kenwood Towne Centre and Eden Park because they'll only be open for 7 more days. There are big discounts and clearance events going on to get rid of all their merchandise. After they close all of Cincinnati will be on a break for two years. You'll get off work but you won't really be able to do anything. The holiday is likely to spread to other parts of the midwest and even the country, for that matter. Why? Well, since I'm leaving the city and everything revolves around me it can't go on without me. Hence, the city of Cincinnati is closing it's doors in 7 days.
Wait.
What did you say? The world doesn't revolve around me? Crap. I think I've heard something like that before.
So, I guess that means things are going to go on without me. I suppose the world would be a scarier place if it didn't but it's kind of sad to think about all the things I'll miss while I'm gone. Groups will change, people will get married or have babies, and new inside jokes will form. To be fair, my life will go on and I'll get to make new friends and experience all kinds of new things. Change is hard but I guess we'd get bored without it. This is where I would give shout outs to everyone but I'm afraid to start the list since I would hate to leave anybody out and I'm not really in the mood to cry. I love you all and I can't imagine not seeing you! I know we'll keep in touch, I'll be home every few months and two years is not forever. (Plus, you can vacation in Europe.) Right now my emotions are on a real up-swing and I'm really excited about getting to London.
But seriously, you might want to head to Target and pick up some flashlights and batteries.

Now that was a cleverly sculpted post.
I liked it too. I'm on my way to Target.
Wait a minute.... Cincinnati didn't close down when I left two years ago!?
You will get to do all kinds of cool things in London. You'll get to see a Shakespearean play in the rebuilt Globe Theater. You'll get to spend the weekend in Paris. You'll get to try all kinds of new foods like Scotch eggs (hard boiled eggs that are covered with cooked sausage and then covered with bread crumbs, quite tasty actually) and Cornish pasties (a meal in itself). You'll also be able to indulge in numerous kinds of Cadbury's chocolate. You'll get to drive on the left side of the road (make sure you slow down when you enter a roundabout otherwise you'll get some unexpected excitement in your life i.e. you'll be hanging on for dear life as you go whipping through it). You'll also be able to take weekend trips to Edinburgh and York. The list of things you'll get to do is endless and two years won't be enough time to do them all but you'll have fun trying. Make sure you do some of the things on your list when your family comes over so it'll be twice as special.
Yeah, we'll try not to have any babies until you get back...but I can't promise anything. :-) Although I have to admit I'm not really ready for a little Riggy anyway.
