December 27, 2013: I’ll Probably Waste it on Video Games
After today I have three days off with no obligations but a lot I could do on my game and such. Here's hoping I buckle down and do something meaningful with it. And if not...well, at least tell me it'll be fun.

A shutout in Este.
Venezuelan View: Games of 12/22

Morgan Bulkeley was the first president of the National League.
Mike Sodders was a first-round draft choice for the Twins in 1981. A star third baseman at Arizona State, he never could adjust to wooden bats, never hit, and never made the major leagues.
Dad A has been a Twins fan ever since the team started, and was a baseball fan before that. He coached, he ran the public address system, and he was on the board of the local baseball association. One of the many gifts he has given me is a love of baseball. Dad, I know you'll never read this, because you don't have a computer and can't think of a reason why you'd want one, but thank you and happy birthday. May you have many more.
