I think I need this week off more than I did when I worked at a busy store. Boredom is much more draining than work.

Submarine pitcher Hisashi Yamada won 284 games in Japan.
Ken Burns made an Emmy-award winning documentary about the history of baseball. He also made a documentary on Jackie Robinson.
Every year I am surprised to learn that there was a Ryan Braun who pitched for Kansas City in 2006 and 2007.
Game 101: In Progress + Bonus DNC!
I'll be flipping back and forth between the end of the Twins game and the DNC. I see the Twins have 6 runs currently, which is 4 more than the [insert opposition here, since I forgot to see who it was.]. So that's good.

July 28, 2016: Off the Grid
I've been a tad elusive of late. I feel pretty disconnected from everything at the moment. What's the story? Twins winning any games? I have a six-day vacation in a couple of days and can't figure out how that relates to the rest of this paragraph, but I started typing it, and I can't turn back now.
