Gemini Delirium
The Twins are in the playoffs. They squeaked out a wildcard slot and even snuck out the division title, more due to the performance of the Tigers than their own.

Bowleaguered
Over the past few years, I have slowly been indoctrinating myself into the midwest lifestyle.

This past weekend I made a concerted effort to alleviate the blast furnace of heat expected in the Twin Cities over the next couple of days. I did this in the usual manner in our neck of the woods, mooched off of some friends of mine who have a cabin by a lake ( Read more... ) -
I have my moments
"I was once in a car that got hit by lightning."
"Really? There was one time that I was struck by lightning that came through the telephone."

Terminal Velocity
Over the past few weeks it looks like the pace of my lifestyle has been ramping up significantly. Apart from the brisk competitive fencing schedule this spring, the office gnomes have conspired to keep me adversely busy in recent times. Between these two factors alone my free time levels have plummeted as well as depressing the energy levels with ( Read more... )
