Friday night on short notice I got Timberwolves tickets from work and of course I went to the game. The seats were good and so were the free hair wig things, however, the game was awful.

Last night I rushed home after work and got all dressed up to visit the Plymouth City Council meeting and witness Todd and 7 others officially end their probationary firefighter status and receive their oath & badges.
