I forgot to set my alarm. I woke to a bedroom dazzlingly bright with sunshine, sure that it had to be around 9:30 or something. Nope, 6am.

Car Seat Headrest – Bodys
I don't really appreciate this guy taking shots at my beloved Father, JM (my hot take is, publicly projecting the "music is all about the art, maaaaaan" pose is as much a calculated maneuver as anything else is, don't @ me) but this song is pretty good.

Game 38 — Redbirds at Twins
St. Louis Cardinal time again. After dominating them last week in St. Louis the Twins are looking to pluck the Cardinals once again and put a stop to a 2-game slide. Jose Berrios on the mound for the Twins and it sure would be nice to have the April Berrios and not the May Berrios show up tonight. Jack Flahery for the Cardinals.
7:10p start and it looks like it will be absolutely gorgeous weather tonight.

Nick Gordon should be in Rochester. LaMonte Wade hits a key home run. A brilliant game for Brusdar Graterol.
