And now, another change of pace.
Lord, I love that vibraphone.

I went to the gym yesterday and my legs were pretty tired and I was generally tired all day. I felt terrific on Sunday and biked very hard. That was a little more than I should have done, so I cut the routine back from 50 minutes to 35 minutes and I didn't go nearly as hard. I also mowed the lawn last night, but otherwise I was pretty lethargic. Generally, I have more energy now than before, but if I push like I did on Sunday, apparently, I'm going to feel it.

Infielder Ellis Clary was a scout for the Twins for over two decades.
Actor Scott Patterson, best known for his role on The Gilmore Girls, was a minor league pitcher for seven seasons, pitching 373 AAA innings but not reaching the majors. He was in the Yankees and Braves systems.
Quinn Mack is Shane Mack’s brother and got 21 at-bats with Seattle in 1994.
Brad Lesley was drafted by the Twins in seventh round in the 1977 January draft, but did not sign.
Toby Gardenhire, of course, is the son of the current Twins’ manager. He was a player in the Twins’ minor league system, reaching AAA, and is currently the baseball coach of the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
We also want to wish a very happy birthday to Rhubarb_Runner.
Additionally, it seems appropriate on this day to mention former minor league players Marty Boryczewski and Brent Woodall, both of whom were killed in the terrorist attacks of 2001.
I changed forever that day, eleven years ago, as I'm sure a lot of people did. The unease went away in time, of course, but the horrors carried out by people who insist that we're their enemies left me doubtful of humanity for a long while.
I love people, really. I just can't believe what they're capable of.

Other times you have some M&Ms, a Donut, and maybe one of those little chocolate Snickers bars. Then you wash it all down with a bunch of White Russians. Oh, and the room is filled with Flowers.
(Good thing the boys won tonight, this might have caused a few nightmares.)

Last game of a four-game series with the Tribe. Masterson vs. Deduno on the mound. Very busy at work and my back is so damn sore from cutting wood I can barely walk, so I'm phoning this one in. The medical staff says it's not bad enough to put me on the disabled list and I should just rest it for a few days. I'm sure they know what they're doing.
Play ball!
It's Nibbish week!
...and I forgot until about five minutes ago. Because I'm a sucker for girl guitarists, we get emergency Viva Voce.

(3 votes, average: 8.00 out of 10)Loading... I think it's true that I'm susceptible to weight gain. My dad has never been heavy, but my mother has battled with weight her entire life. I know that for me to stay fit as an adult, I have to work hard at it. In other words, I think I have to boost my metabolism through smart eating and a focus on exercise. Otherwise, I will not be able to sustain a healthy weight once I get there. I will discuss this in more detail later. Suffice it to say for now that this is not my first weight loss regimen ever. I'm pretty sure I can lose the weight, the real challenge will be to maintain a program to keep it off. I think I can, but again that's a message for another day.
