Take Me Out to the Ball Game

At my new job, they took us to the new Twins Stadium in Downtown Minneapolis. I use to watch the former Anaheim Angels at their outdoor stadium, and it was a fun and inexpensive way to catch some rays and mock watch people.

They had a suite for us, which was fantastic. And actually, the entire stadium is well constructed. To the left of this first picture, the Lightrail and Northstar connect here, as well as local buses nearby.

And as fate would have it, my friend and former coworker, Jennifer, just happened to be at the same game! So I snuck her into our suite since there was plenty of room. And I even found a mug with some Disney characters in Twins gear, so it was a perfect night for me!

Stay Awake

Well, Caribou Coffee asked and I told them! Too bad it didn't make the printed version. Probably due to copyrights and whatnots.

Yo ho! Yo ho! A Chocolatier's Life for Me.

So when I unemployed and went to a LinkedMinnesota event, I ran into Scott, who does with Dove Chocolate what my childhood preacher's wife did with Avon. And no, Scott did not wear the Dove Chocolate; he sold it.

The main reason I wanted to host this party was to get Chocolate Martini mix. Man, that stuff is great! As you see from some of the other goodies, the chocolate with wine is another favorite.

My friends and I bought so much stuff, we had extra chocolate products to last a lifetime!

It's Been Some Time

I've been bad and haven't posted anything in a long time, but I have been on a few trips, so I may have to go back and add those into my blog.

However, I just had to post this link! This was one of my favorite places to go growing up and while I worked at Disneyland. Mom, Dad and I used to grab a Mint Julep and listen to great jazz music here.

Sh-Boom, Sh-Boom

This weekend, I was at a car show in Hastings, Minnesota. When seeing vehicles like this, I can imagine what inspired the animators at Pixar.

It's always a good reminder and something I truly do not take for granted.

So Much To Do. So Little Mayan Time.

Time's running out! I have a lot to do before December 21, 2012.
