went to the twins game with matt and madeline, jason and nathan today. first one of the year, it’s hard to believe. i’m so excited about that new stadium, i think it’s just especially hard to head to the dome on such a beautiful night.
the real reason for our attendance though was to celebrate madeline’s [...]

Our first big snowstorm of the year finally arrived yesterday. Apparently, February is our least snowiest month?  I’m pretty sure that’s what Paul Douglas said yesterday, but they don’t keep archives of his sage wisdom over at the Star Tribune.

But losing [...]

The Twins need an outdoor stadium. We went to a Giants game yesterday. SBC Park is beautiful. The sun was out, a nice breeze blowing out to center. (Where we were) The only problem with the game was that the Marlins walked Bonds 4 TIMES!!!. So much for entertaining the fans. They quoted 41,000 of [...]
