August 12, 2015: Decision Time
To sign a new lease, or not? I may be heading out to Minnesota at the end of September, if all goes as planned. It rarely does, but I'm hopeful.
Game 112: Rangers at Twins
All right this has gone on long enough. Tonight we get back to playing some ball.
KEYS TO VICTORY:
When the Twins are at bat, they need to score lots of runs.
When the Rangers are at bat, the Twins need to keep them from scoring runs.
It's a simple formula, but I think it will work. Let's do this! Go Twins!

August 11, 2015: Fluffy Bunnies
This month my store started a thing where the guy who has the smallest number of credit card applications in my department has to wear pink fluffy bunny headphones. This is the first month in years that I would have been the guy who was on the hook to wear them. Sigh.
Though I did help Brittany Griner in the store yesterday, and she commented on them, so there's that, I guess.
Sean Price – Bar-Barian
Rip mr. price. Half the massively influential Heltah Skeltah, Sean Price was quite the wordsmith and will be missed. This is NSFW, but it's pretty awesome anyway.
