Random Thursday

*I hope the Twins don't do something stupid today like trade Kurt Suzuki.

*Well...I watched the first two seasons of House of Cards on Netflix.  Officially hooked.  And I did it in less than a week.

*Now that he's won two Stanley Cups, I wonder if Hockey Guy is finally deserving of a bobble head at the Ralph?

*Swung the wrenches in Warren on Friday.  Not good.  Good company though.

*Reggie Tales shout out to Heidi in Milbank.

*Bonus shout out to the Nelson Twins.

*Happy Birthday today to Summer Sidekick.  He is truly putting together one of the most prolific summers ever.

*Vin Scully...thank you.

*Somebody asked me what my favorite item is at Zorbaz.  The answer is:  Pepperoni and Peanut Butter Pizza.  I'm serious.

*I'm not sure how.  I'm not sure when.  And I'm not sure why, but the Minnesota Timberwolves will screw up the Kevin Love trade.  Guaranteed.

Random Thursday

*The low in Phoenix today is 91.

*I think Joan Rivers is funnier now than she's ever been.

*I recently made a trip to the Twin Cities with Hoosier Girl.  During my stay I was approached by two panhandlers.  One asked me for $22 and the other asked me for $6.

*Finally got my Zorbaz fix.  Now I want more.

*Reggie Tales shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Summer Sidekick on the birth of Little Summer Sidekick.

*The NFL's two game suspension of Ray Rice for beating his girlfriend is embarrassing.

*Time for me to dig the wrenches out of storage and start swinging them.

Random Thursday on a Wednesday

*All airplanes should have free Wi-Fi and satellite television.

*The notion that Joe Mauer was a possible All-Star before his latest injury is laughable.  The Twin Cities media who floated the idea know no boundaries in their shameless, misguided adoration.

*I saw Summer Sidekick in person on the Fourth of July.  He seems to be doing well.  It was nice to catch up with him.  He says he and Mrs. SSK are expecting a child.  Good thing I bumped into him.

*Reggie Tales shout out to Tommy in Michigan and Roger in Grand Forks.

*I think a Zorbaz in Grand Forks would do quite nicely.

*The Lynx are playing some good ball.  I think.

*Deadliest Catch is still one of the best shows on television.  

*Gutty effort by Brazil.

*Two of the umpires in the All-Star Game are from Minnesota and one is from North Dakota.
