Twinkies



Well we went to a Twins game this past weekend. It was fun. We did not get a chance to stay the whole game, which is a shame because they ended up winning off of 4 singles. Hay, you can't complain when your team wins though!

We did make it to Casey H's graduation he is a man after my own heart (of course he will deny it but it is true). He had star wars playing right next to his Sr. photo slideshow! This with cheese, crackers, M&M's... what more could you ask for.
Plus we visited with our friends for a birthday party, and Hannah got to play in the sprinkler at their house. Yeah it is that warm around here already! Time to put the AC in!
All this on top of a wonderful message on family to encourage the soul and lighten the spirit!
What a wonderful Start to a new week.

Double Overtime
Two words for you. Double Overtime.
Last Friday, my wife's parents came down from the UP to enjoy the fruits of an excellent Christmas present. We went to the Wolves, Pistons game at the Target Center. 8 of us, mom, dad, the kids, and 2 in laws (myself included) It was great.

The seats were good (one row back from the balcony in the corner. We didn't even have to worry about looking over any tall peoples heads. To get up for food, we could just stand up over the backs of our chairs and walk out the door. We even made it early enough to walk away with a collectible Randy Foye bobble head. This was a doubly astounding feet, as It is my first bobble head, and as my reputation of being not-early proceeds me :) (literally)

But the Game. Oh the Game! It was fantastic. Pistons, Wolves, Double Ejection (first ever suspension in KG's history). Coming back dramatically to tie in regulation. Overtime quarter, Pistons three with 12 seconds left to tie. Double Overtime (and all without KG!). The Pistons won and man was that ride home a blast on the train. What an event.

Plus, we rode the Light Rail there and back with the UPS guy who delivered the game ball on TV. It was so cool.

Thanks for the Tickets Kyle!
And everybody, thanks for the memory's.

Just, awesome.
You wouldn't make it in football
Well, I have to admit it. She's good!
My wife beet me out in the final week of our Fantasy football championship. She was the only girl in the league but has a real love for the game, and a lot of knowledge. I on the other hand am the most inexperienced guy. But it is a keeper league, and I got some real keepers this year. Got to love the family dynasty going into next year. :)

p.s. Go Bears!
