July 17, 2014: The New Place Across the Street
A month or two ago my wife and I finally decided to try the place across the street and we loved it. We walked over with the kids last night to find out it closed on the 13th. Fantastic.
July 16, 2014: Second Half
Time to reset and start playing near-meaningless games unless this team decides it can go on a run.
July 15, 2014: All-Star Game
This'll be the first one in Minnesota since baseball was on my radar (I started watching in about mid-'86). I don't ask much - just a Suzuki homer, a Perkins save, three Jeter strikeouts and the stunning return of Kirby Puckett.
July 14, 2014: Dozier
I hope to be back to watch this stupid event with you guys. Not-so-warm and not-so-humid, I hear. It could be a long event.
July 13, 2014: Cigarette
I just got done with one of the best sales weeks of my life. Hopefully this one isn't a disaster in comparison.
July 12, 2014: Blitzkrieg Bop
And so goes Tommy Ramone, last of the original Ramones. They played fast and I suppose they lived faster.
July 11, 2014: The Decision II
Is Lebron really going to Cleveland again? We should find out today. I'll admit I'm really into this.
July 10, 2014: Priorities
Stayed up for the west coast ballgame, and couldn't put together a Co'C? Huh.
July 9, 2014: So, This Was New
Two days ago a frantic Skim ran into the house and told me to come out with her. She said it was too immediately important to tell me. I went out and a guy had jumped the curb and was stuck on the sidewalk, unconscious in his car about 15 feet from my front door, if that. The only reason he didn't take out the stairs to the above apartment was that he scraped the side of the car to his right and had gotten stuck on the fender. The police came and had to take a nightstick to the backseat (he didn't wake up) and go in that way to help. Turns out he has heart issues. I'm not sure where things are at this point, but hopefully that's the closest my daughters ever get to getting run down on the sidewalk.
