two dolla

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.

Not much has changed since celebrating my five year anniversary in Minnesota last year. To celebrate, I watched two Tivo’ed episodes Little People, Big World, had lunch with one of my favorite former co-workers, visited the chiropractor, bought some clothes hangers, and picked up some supplies from IKEA. The evening will probably a lot on [...]

On Friday, I was having a pleasant drive from Eagan to my hometown, when somewhere just after I passed through Kansas City, my muscles started aching. Odd, I thought, since I’d been sitting on my ass rocking out to some really bad mix CDs I found while going through boxes of shit in my apartment. [...]

I had a phone interview yesterday that went pretty well. So well, in fact, that the lady I was talking to wanted to send me job descriptions for two different jobs she thought I’d be a great fit for and let me get back to her on which one piqued my interest the most. I [...]
