Don't say that too loudly, the Twins will bring him back to play Centerfield as a "fan favorite".
Sorry, those pictures of Gardy don't work any more.
The Rochester Red Wings facebook page tells me that former Twins minor league manager and coach Riccardo Ingram has passed away from cancer at the young age of forty-nine.
Here is a story on him. To correct an error above, he was only forty-eight.
IT has continued to drop the ball in regard to getting access for logging in since they terminated my old userid too soon yesterday. The difference today is that I'm actually getting paid for sitting here and calling the support group multiple times.
Progre$$!
indeed.
The good dr and I are both experiencing life crisis of the variety generally called mid life. We're both working on projects that we love, and are both invested in our organizations, but both have nagging, sometimes serious, bouts of doubt and anxiety. The big what if this is all there is!?!? It's been almost crippling at times, bit we're both trudging along and trying to figure it out. I think I'm too young for this kind of crisis, and what scares me is that if this is just a warm up crisis I'm not sure if I can handle the real deal.
Hugs to both you and Dr. Chop.
Likewise. Power of positive thinking, meat. We're thinking positive vibes.
meat - I think that stability & satisfaction can sometimes feel like tedium & inertia. My dad made a major career change at 50 and at 40, one of my best friends went back to school, left his wife (they have 2 young children), took up with a new woman (with kids of her own) and "started over" in a completely different career.
Seeing these things up close, I started looking at my own life and thinking about what I'd need to do to prevent or manage those feelings if when they arise. I read a lot of different things, but here's one article I saw last winter that I found pretty compelling.
presumably, Corn is not counseling meat and Dr. Chop to split up.... 🙂
Heh - correct.* I meant - perhaps could have been clearer - that I've observed both positive and (arguably) negative ways to deal with the "crisis...generally called mid life."
*...though my friend would argue that that was the correct move in his situation. I disagree(d) but I'm not him and I'm not a marriage counselor.
That was a really good article. Thanks. Especially as I struggled through the former employment situation, and then lack of employment, there was lots of dissatisfaction. I had a nice cause attributable to it, but I knew that wasn't the only thing out there, and the lines in the article about the self-reinforcement of depression really hit home. You get depressed that you feel depressed, and feel guilty for it.
As for a possible suggestion, and maybe this is or is not a thing for meat, but I'd say volunteering can be a very affirming experience. Our family did a meal at the Ronald McDonald House a while back (wow, a year+ now...) and that was just awesome to do (it helped that we'd been the beneficiaries of similar volunteerism in the past). It might not answer any questions, or resolve any issues, or... whatever. But maybe?

I still have a soft spot for 'lexi.

Nodak and Sodak got some 'splainin' to do.
Even Arkansas knows better than that.
I almost wish I didn't abhor football because of Jon bois.
Jon Bois is a national treasure.
Don't you think that oversells the idea of "national treasure"?
Rhu_Rhu, it arrived! I'll send a picture soon. Thank you!
Little miss SBG got it several years ago from me, too. Someone from my alma mater wrote it. Hope the young'uns like it
