I literally had never heard of this guy until yesterday.
Really?! I watch no cooking anything and I still thought he was everywhere.
He really hadn't been about cooking in at least a decade. His shows were about travel and culture.
The last time I felt this way about a celebrity death, non Prince category, was when David Rakoff passed away. I listened to Fraud at the depths of a bad personal creative moment, and found such comfort in his voice.
Heading up to St. Cloud today for a book signing by my favorite college professor, Bill Meissner (Hitting into the Wind, Spirits in the Grass), and Tommy Murray (Fathers, Sons, and the Holy Ghosts of Baseball). Happy hour(s) to follow the event. I'm guessing there will be Waldo's pizza before the day is done, too.
Tarp still on the field. No action in bullpen. All indications are the start of today's game will be delayed.
Doesn't sound like the Twins will be playing anytime soon.
Dave St. Peter Tweeted that they "hope" the rain will stop in a couple of hours.
Just play a double header tomorrow.
510 start time
So just a brief 4-hour delay.
it's okay, concession stands have been open the whole time.
I'm tempted to drive downtown.
me too. i can make it by the 19th inning!
Gophs currently up 3-2; Larnach 2-for-2 with a walk
You know, I just have a strong feeling that i know where Bourdain was coming from. If you have a good heart, which I think Tony had, it is just so hard to deal with the bullshit around us on a daily basis. Over the past 2 years I have also looked at the world we live in and wondered if I am now an outlier. If being considerate to others is now frowned upon, is this a world for me? I am fortunate that I have an incredible family that lifts me out of these dark thoughts every day. I keep telling myself that this too will pass. That the pendulum will swing back and we will live in a time and place where kindness and compassion are championed once again. It is difficult to have a moral compass and to care deeply about the world. I think Tony had that difficulty and found it hard to cope with. I was lucky tonight, as I found a lot of compassion and kindness around me. I needed it as I mourn deeply on many levels. Great people are leaving this realm in waves and it sucks. Anyway, a toast to Tony. May God reach down and lift you to a place of eternal bliss. Cheers my friend.
