Early Morning
23 May 2001Late
Weekend! Well, for most of us anyway. Mama is on tour tomorrow, so Christopher and I will take a 'Vatertag' tour together. But without schnaps.
After 8 weeks in the shop for guarantee repairs, my DVD player is on it's way home, at least according to the online RMA databank. Unless it's a hoax.
Noon
Brent, I'm a baby boomer, and I like punk too. Cool.
And Sheila, I would have been in a good mood this morning whether the Twins won or not. Four-day weekend starts tomorrow, and the weather should be good all four days! (But Seattle-Minnesota would be a cool playoff series this fall.)
Early
Some days you wake up at 5 am, the sun is shining, the air smells wonderful, the birds are chirping, Christopher is sleeping peacefully, and all seems well with the world.
Or maybe I was picking up good vibes from Minnesota. Twins 12 Mariners 11. Only at the Metrodome is a 8-0 lead unsafe.
Here is the in-progress summary of the top of the 9th from Yahoo at 5:30 my time. The next pitch was a strike to end the game.
