Afrojet Workout Plan Currently: sore, broken, damaged, exhausted, abused. The sedentary nature of computer jobs and the upcoming long winter months have prompted the misses and I to join our local health club. It could turn out to be our biggest mistake. Tuesday night was the first trip to the gym. It was to be …

Season of the Gourd I got a little carried away in the gourd department this weekend and ended up with more gourds then one household should have. What can one do with so many gourds? JG got me a Heinz Ketchup t-shirt while on holiday in Pittsburgh. It’s just in time as I think it …
Voter Stomping The election is little more than a week away and already there are wild reports of voter fraud in almost every battleground state. Steve Perry in his article in the City Pages makes the case that the war on voter rights is going to be the real october surprise this election season. Yikes. …
Saddle Up and Ride I thought I’d watch the end of the ACLS Game 6 last night while I mixed up some five-spice powder and set the rice to simmer. I had no idea I was committing to yet another extra-inning marathon that would take me deep into the night – ending just before the …

The victim tried but couldn’t catch the suspect. Enjoying: William Shatner’s new album Has …
Largactyl Again with the crushing workload – the late nights working through the weekend. Everytime I came up for air I was slammed in the face by the brutal power of the New York Yankees and the Ghengis Khan antics they brought to our home state. After Saturday night’s loss I felt like a piece …
Bald egotism A crushing long night passes into morning and I still can’t accept the fact that the Twins lost Game 2. But spirits are high still after the Game 1 victory – they float blissfully on the hopes of capturing Game 3 here at home. It will be tricky channel bouncing Friday night with …
Go Twins! Please Win. Oh man. I was offered tickets to the Vote For Change Tour tonight in Saint Paul and I had to pass. What?!? I know, it’s terrible but I have to watch my boy Johan Santana take it to the Yankees this evening. Nothing can get in the way of that right? …
The Don’t Vote Billboard Has anybody else seen this billboard that says ‘DONT VOTE’? I saw it the other night on highway 280 just north of I-94. That’s all the billboard says. The only other text is the Clear Channel logo that appears standard on the bottom most billboards around town. According to this article …
