1. I'm not at all surprised to see Larnach leading off against a righty today.

2. 10 days and +/- 2,400 miles and the girls saw all 3 surviving great-grandmas over Spring Break.

   Until Friday morning, the younger child had been in more foreign countries (2- Spain, France) than foreign states (1 - Iowa).

   Then we hit 7 distinct other states on this trip (a few more than once coming and going)

3. Is there a game log where I can register my disgust with the Twins' opponent?

   1. Yes.

4. Unglued part deuce. So, the house continues to be on the market. I’ve come to peace with the loss of money and time and sleep and ….. I check in on the house at least once a week and this week I find that my secuirty camera has been redirected and pointed away from the trap house. A quick scrubbing of video returns John doing a hand to hand drug deal at midnight Sunday followed by him retrieving a ladder and coming over to my house and adjusting the camera away from his street pharmacy. For effs effs effs effs sake. Dude. Seriously.

   Another showing of the house is scheduled for tomorrow. I can’t cross enough fingers.

5. I saw one spoiler in a headline in LA Times website, which seems egregious to me. I’m glad I watched last night and didn’t risk the spoilers today.

   1. That said…

      What a great episode! So well written, and well acted. There better be a lot of awards coming out of that. I did not expect to be brought to tears by that show. I can’t wait to see what they do with the rest of the season.

         I really wish I hadn't had that part spoiled to me because I would have loved to have gone in clean and been shocked by the moment and the balls they had to do it at this point in the season.

6. Before I start updating with this year's games, here are how the newest Twins have performed in games I have attended:

   I had not seen Pablo Lopez who I believe is the only new pitcher.

7. Al Jaffee has passed away at 102(!).

8. I don't know how to do the polling thing on the WGOM, but who is the worst actor?
   1) Ben Stiller
   2) Adam Sandler
   3) Jen Aniston
   4) Jeremy Irons
   5) Kevin Costner
   6) Ben Affleck
   7) Keanu Reeves
   8) David Spade
   9) Kiefer Sutherland
   10) Brendan Fraser
   11) Nick Cage
   12) Johnny Depp

   1. Some really good actors in this list. Spade, I guess.

      1. yep, and a-yep

      2. Kuzco bumps him up quite a bit, or at least acts as a drag chute on his fall.

         1. This was my exact thought.

            "I should weigh in an agree on Spade... wait, he was Kuzco. I'll just not respond."

   2. Half this list I can’t stand, and half this list I find to be decent in spite of some fairly glaring limitations.

      1. A common thread on most of this list. They started out as horrible actors and eventually became at least acceptable if not above average.
