October 21, 2012: For Our Padre
In honor of National Pastoral Care Week, we at the WGOM (and I mean all of us, since nearly everyone was in on this as long as we had their email address) would like to recognize the man who gives us endless amounts of content, recognizes each of us as well as our family members throughout the year, and has a calming effect on some of the surlier members of the site (ahem). Jeff, enjoy a week dedicated to your presence at the WGOM.

Everyone Else.

October 20, 2012: Unfamiliar
Last night marked the first time in years that I was told I hadn't gotten a job I applied for. Holy crap, I'd forgotten how damaging that feeling is, even though it was stressed to me that I was the second choice and that they value the hell out of me. A few compliments aren't quite the 50% bump in pay I was hoping for, but at least I feel needed.

It appears that no players associated with the Twins were born on this day. However, that list contains some pretty good ones.
We also want to wish a very happy birthday to Greek House and to freealonzo’s mother.
