  1. woohoo!

    Do you have a day filled with formal meetings or presentations? Or maybe today will be quiet, allowing you to work on projects? Maybe your day is somewhere in the middle. Effective immediately, Union Pacific recognizes a "dress for your day" dress code allowing you to base your attire on your day's agenda.

    Doesn't affect me that much as a telecommuter, but it makes for more flexible trips to the HQ mothership, especially during the winter months.

    1. Might have to pass this one around the office...current industry trends and whatnot...
      Might be a tough sell as we raise a nice sum for the United Way by letting people buy the right to wear jeans at work. Too rich for my blood, though.

  2. Kind of crazy how different worlds can intersect. I’m sending out contributors’ copies of the fall issue of the journal. One of the poets in this issue passed away this spring (he contributed some poems to our spring issue, too, but never got to see it). When I was corresponding with his wife about the second set of poems we accepted, she told me one of the poems refers to a friend of his. I offered to send a copy of the issue to the friend’s family; they live in North Dakota. Turns out the friend (who is also no longer with us) was a member of the Twins Platoon.

  3. Its weird that other teams are actively seeing the flotsam known as the Twins pitching. The Pirates claimed Nik Turley.

    1. Nothing against Turley or any of the other guys the Twins have lost, but my hope is that this is clearing the way for the Twins to sign some better players.

  4. RIP Stelly 🙁
