We'll see if today's fun is better than the late loss last night.

September 2, 2014: State Fair & Labor Day…
...have Come and Gone. Does that mean the summer's over for you? What else is coming faster than you'd expected?
September 1, 2014: Temporarily Home
I arrived in Minnesota yesterday and hung out with my high school best friend/Spookymilk Survivor frequent nonsub threat Leif Bierly. Today's the State Fair followed by the Twins the next night and an in-person CdL/WGOM thing the night after that. I wish I had a better time than midweek, but that's not how this trip's going to work.
Still taking suggestions for a place in the Apple Valley/Eagan area, as many said this works just fine for them.
Sunday, Aug. 31: Why not?
Jose Berrios was just promoted to AAA Rochester to make an important start in their final desperate push for a playoff spot. Danny Santana was promoted to the majors after about a month at AAA. Kennys Vargas was promoted straight from AA. Berrios has always been considered the superior prospect. Why shouldn't he be a rotation candidate next spring for the Twins?

August 27, 2014: Half a Generation Apart
I'm glad I'll see my sister in less than a week, so we can make up for the awkward talk we had yesterday, which seemed like it was between strangers. We're not great at keeping up.
August 26, 2014: Reminder
Tell me to call my sister. Granted, I have the day off so I really have no excuse if I forget.
August 25, 2014: Dance Party
I guess there's an upside to slow days at the store.
