I had the dreaded close and then open last night and this morning. I'm getting sick of these. The whole retail thing needs to be over.
Ike and Tina Turner – Honky Tonk Woman
With it being an election year it is always important to give equal time to each party. After playing several bands covering the Beatles, it is only fair to play some groups covering the Stones.

March 4, 2012: Attention Hogs
I don't remember the last time I was thinking about any pro team but the Twins in March, and now here I am, thankful there's another month before the regular season so I can watch all the Wolves games without guilt.

Loading... I love crispy pork Banh Mi, and you should too.
I was busy at the smoker* yesterday preparing a couple of soy ginger marinaded pork tenderloins for spring rolls when a friend called us up for dinner. We invited her over without hesitation, but later remembered that she's pretty into Catholicism. Dr. Chop ran to the store to pick up some tofu and saved dinner for our pal.

Wolves @ Portland 9pm
The Wolves have been living out of their suitcase since the All Star Break, 4th game in 5 days. After this the Wolves return home for a week then go on a grueling 7 game roadie. I'm not saying this is a must win, but man it would be super sweet (my prediction coming out of the break is that the Wolves would go 2-2).
Portland has a few 'whoa, those guys are playing' on the roster: Kurt Thomas (not playing tonight), Marcus Camby, Gerald Wallace.
