This Week in Ex-Twins
With expanded rosters and the end of the minor league seasons, there's not much activity on the transactions wire these days.
Dinosaur Jr – “Little Fury Things”
This may be my favorite Dinosaur Jr song. I love the last verse where J.'s voice stays at the same level of calmness while the cacophony builds around him. I went with this version as it was the earliest one I could find. Looks like everyone was having a good time.

Big thanks to Bootsy and free who got me turned on them a few years back.

September 21, 2013: Bad Timing
I've hardly been able to visit the site in the past few days. I don't mind the occasional intentional break, but the forced break is not up my alley.

Ten games left. Two wins needed to surpass last year.
Friday Music Day: Sept 20, 2013
I fell asleep listening to the end of the Twins game, so I didn't write anything up for this.
I've been listening to a lot of Peter Tosh and the preview Tracks from Ha Ha Tonka's upcoming Lessons, which I'm quite excited for. Oh, I'm going to see Zola Jesus & the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra on Sunday Night.
Jacob Giles – “How Do You Smile?”
This is my oldest male cousin Jacob. He's four years younger than me. My oldest cousin is his big sister. Often times when we got together when we were younger, the girls - my little sister and his big sister - would always play together, and Jacob and I would play together. I haven't seen as much of him as an adult as I would like, but we're working on seeing each other more often.
This is an original work of his. I'm really proud of him not only for his talent, but having the guts to put himself out there like this. I couldn't imagine opening myself up like that for the world to see.

September 20, 2013: Twists
The Milkmaid is interviewing for a job that would take us to Santa Monica. I'm not keen on moving the kids again, but this would be a pretty big career move for her.
