two dolla

Things I saw after I turned my computer off at work and headed down the elevator until just right now:

A co-worker leaning into the back window of his VW Passat while cleaning safety glass out. Someone was ballsy enough to punch in the window in the middle of the afternoon while it was parked in [...]

The General™ and I just returned home from a lovely Saturday night date that included a trip to the dog park, followed by a romantical (in the words of Flavor Flav) dinner at Denny’s on Lake Street in Minneapolis. We know how to live it up with the rest of them.
After we left, we were [...]

I promise I always think about posting, but obviously that’s about as far as it gets.
My external hard drive is having some issues. My computer will intermittently recognize that it’s plugged in to my USB slot, but even when it knows it’s there, I can’t access it. Normally, I wouldn’t care, except guess what’s on [...]

After running a temp of somewhere around 101 degrees three days last week, I was really hoping that by the weekend, I’d feel better and up to doing something besides laying around in bed trying to figure out who to leave my John Kerry bobblehead to when I died of whatever mysterious disease had taken [...]

Thanks to the influence my little brother has on me, I go into these phases of thinking I need four or five watches at a time. They all have to be silver and they all have to have large faces. If I’m wearin’ a watch, I want people to know I’m wearing a watch. My [...]

Friday: Work, fresh flowers on the table, homemade lasagna for dinner, couch time, watching Superbad, going to bed way before midnight.
Saturday: Up at 6. Breakfast at Pannekoeken Hus, which I hadn’t visited in far too long. Composed a song about my breakfast which contained lyrics like “meat in my skillet makes me so happy”. Headed [...]

I forget I have this blog. No, really. I’m too wrapped up in so many levels of awesome that it’s the last thing on my mind. Pretty sure that’s the first time since 1999 that I haven’t been walking around going “Hey! I should totally write about this on two dolla!”
My friends are always awesome [...]

After the second trip to the dog park yesterday (I had to put the kibosh on the visit the first time we got there), I decided I was hungry. And since it was 8:15pm, I knew there was no way in hell I was going to cook anything short of a grilled cheese, and I’ve [...]

Tonight marks the second time in four days that a friend of mine has found my shiny, happy mug plastered somewhere on the Internet. Tonight? Desi found me on twinsbaseball.com!
It wasn’t for marrying Joseph Patrick Mauer during a pre-game ceremony, it wasn’t for beating the Twins General Manager with an aluminum bat, and it wasn’t [...]

There are a lot of different ways I’ve longed to be featured on ESPN.com (or ESPN or ESPN the Magazine). Maybe writing an article, or interviewing a baseball team in the lockerroom after they’ve own a championship of somewhere so I can get doused in champagne and wear goggles. Or maybe even a feature done [...]
