Our Twins return home for a 4-banger with the Rangers starting tonight. It’ll be good to be back home because it was a bad road trip - 2 wins and 6 losses over 8 games in the state of California. Bad

Well, just to have my bases covered, I'm going to Mankato on Tuesday and then to the Sea of Japan.  I'm afraid if I reversed it, I might miss the Vikes.

A guy I used to work with, in reference to a co-worker, used to say: "One can work smart or one can work hard and he's the hardest working guy in the factory."

I learn a lot reading these game threads. And sometimes it has to do with baseball.

 

To entertain while educating is one of the most successful methods of instruction. The best classroom teacher I ever knew summed it up for me this way; "Never let the little b@stards know they're being taught anything."

 

TD excels in that regard.

 

What do you learn in game threads? That we're all just a little, oh what's the right word... unique?

First time at training camp ... well then, the first time to ST can't be far behind.

 

And I thought you had a successful road trip with the drunk cousins a few years ago? No?

 

Ft. Myers is at the very top of my "still need to visit" list. I'd like to plan a trip toward the end of spring training when both Miami and Tampa Bay open the season at home so I can knock those two stadiums off my list. I also want to squeeze in some time visiting the Florida Keys. 

 

The drunk cousin trip was a success. 

 

The bad road trips that I plan usually involved my Kids saying... "Dad... Do we have to see the world's largest cow". My answer is always... "yes... you have to. It's only 25 miles out of the way".

But Salem Sue can be seen from I-94!  She's right there on top of a hill!

It's your loss for not joining us last spring.

It is, diehard... During the very limited times I fly back home, going to Jake's Pizza is a must. 

 

well, I live in Indiana, so that one is not an option for me.  Unfortunately, I don't have customers up in the Twin Cities area like I do in FL, so I don't have a convenient way of crossing that off my bucket list.

And let me clarify further ... I'm not trying to be 'snobby' about being college educated ... it's not for everyone and it isn't the end all to be all ... everyone has to decide that for themselves. But I do believe, more often than not, it can, and does (not always), provide one with greater opportunity, ultimately. Even if one never graduates and even if one does something completely different than the degree pursued and/or earned.

 

College helped me a lot with my punctuation.

Love live music...despise the crowds of LaLa.

 

that can be an issue at music fests, agreed. Still worth it for the right one.

 

We are debating which night of this to go to:

I'd like to see Father John Misty, but I really want to see Beck. Big Lizzo fan, but we've seen her.

I'd be at LALA for sure.....I love live music.

Just make sure you buy VIP passes.

 

If it rains, and it's likely, the grounds become all mud. And with the drunken crowds, it's not just mud. Wear you hip waders. Seriously.
