MNSpeak, a local (I want to use an adjective, but I can’t figure out which one is most appropriate) blog, linked to a story on our local CBS affiliate, WCCO, with this headline: Cops: Eagan Couple Uses Craigslist For ID Theft. I know, it’s so scandalous! They probably lived in my old apartment building. Because [...]

I have about 405 posts I want to make about sports, but I keep finding other things to write about.
The Dugout makes me cry. The folks there generate IM conversations between baseball players. I know, I know. It doesn’t sound funny. BUT IT IS. My favorites as of late have featured new Twins player Delmon [...]

It’s been one week since my last baseball game. Okay, it was my first baseball game of the season and it just happened to also be Opening Day (for America) in baseball. We grabbed a pile of seats in between left and center field, which couldn’t have been a more perfect place to sit for [...]

I decided to go get some Chinese food a couple of hours ago, mainly because the last thing I’d eaten was some toast after I woke up this morning. I don’t really know where the good Chinese places are around here yet, so I opted for what I know: Leann Chin. Clearly my most authentic [...]

Thanks to my stellar status as a Lynx season ticket holder, I wound up with free suite tickets to the Timberwolves game last night. Stephanie picked me up prior to game time and we decided to go have dinner. We wound up going to The Lone Tree Bar & Grill. Jenni, Matt, and I had [...]

Maybe a year ago, we’d heard mention of a new bar that opened called Restaurant Miami.

Restaurant Miami is Uptown’s hot new spot that embraces the glitz and glam of the Miami nightlife scene (circa 1983). Nothing was lost in the transport of time, from the extravagance, debauchery, socialization, and neon that epitomized the time.

It’s one [...]

Not that there was any doubt on whether I’d have time to do it, but I’m happy to say I successfully completed NaBloPoMo by posting every day before I went to bed in November. What you also may not know is that I posted every day in October, too, but only as my own personal [...]

When I was in middle school, nobody ever offered me any drugs and it wasn’t until high school that I was offered any kind of booze. We always heard stories of the rub-on stickers that were laced with acid on the back, and how we shouldn’t take any stickers from strangers, because they could be [...]

For starters, I’m okay and my people seem to be accounted for. That makes me feel lucky. Thanks to everyone who tried calling (all circuits have been busy most of the night, and they’ve asked that cell phones only be used for emergency), texted, instant messaged, or emailed over the course of the night.
Not everyone [...]

A major bridge just collapsed in Minneapolis. Some of it fell into the Mississippi River and some fell onto the road below. I don’t really know what’s going on as far injuries and fatalities go, but the broadcast I’m watching on it keeps mentioning “red cards”, which obviously isn’t a good thing. It’s not pretty.
And [...]
