Hi TRE. Nice posts on the Twins position by position. Way to copy me. I thought you were a Gopher football blog.

I just tweeted to my followers to be sure to read yours too. Hopefully we can be friends again now.

I suppose.For now.
 
Had lunch with one of the managers at our largest client today. We've always spoken on the phone, so this was our first B&M meeting. Really nice guy, and we had a pleasant lunch. Halfway through, I have this realization:

Oh my god, he looks exactly like Shuke.

Sorry GB. I just can't break away. I've got plans on Saturday and absolutely cannot miss any work Mon-Wed as I'm leaving for Phily on Thursday. First of the month and I've got to get our statements out to our clients Monday. Not fun to do with a hangover and the idea of driving back early Monday or late Sunday isn't a very good one. Though I guess I could make some Vodka Rock Star Monsters for the drive back. :mellow:

Take the train. Bar car, wireless - you're all set. Bingo bango bongo

Damn. I'd do this just for the bar car and wireless. Do they have one that just sits in the station?
 
I need someone who can make by basic website look pretty and stuff.

With little direction and input from my end.

Any fbgs doing this now?

 
While I'm no master chef I do like to cook...and homeboy just saved me a ####load of time here...

?Plus wielding a knife is much cooler than spazzing out with bongo drums.

When do kids understand death? I'm talking about age-wise. Here's the background on my question:

About 2 years ago, a fairly young girl from my town, who I had never met went to New York City to go shopping with her boyfriend (might've been husband, not sure if they were married, but they had a baby together) Anyways, while in New York, someone comes up to the car they were in and shoots her in the head and shoots the guy in his leg and then runs off. The girl died and the guy was treated for his injury. Ends up, the boyfriend had set it up to have her killed and make it appear to be a random car jacking gone bad. So now he is in jail. Their son who was not yet 2 years old when this happened now has no Mother and his father is in jail. That little boy is being raised by his grandmother and grandfather, I kinda know the grandfather. Ends up that the little boy is in Little 'Zooks pre-school class. So I exchange pleasantries with the grandfather each day but I never bring up anything about what happened. I feel horrible for this little boy. He seems like a sweet kid, on Monday as I was leaving I said hello to grandfather and he said hi and then he told the kid to say to Gadzooks. The kid says hi and then tells me that I look like a weatherman. I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not, but I let it go. Now for the last 3 days this little kid sees me at class and says "hey whats the weather today?" and then I say "oh I think it's gonna be cloudy with a chance of meatballs". Everyone laughs. I think this is going to continue every day this year now.

Anyways, today I picked up Little 'Zooks and he mentioned something about that boy calling me a weatherman, and I asked him if he knew what the boy's name was and he couldn't remember. But then he says, "I know his Mommy's name". Now, I wasn't sure what to say since the boy's Mommy was murdered 2 years ago. So he then tells me that the boys' Mommy's name is "Memie". Obviously that's a reference to "grandmother". I didn't correct him and tell him that she is actually his grandmother because I didn't think Little 'Zooks (just turned 5) would understand the whole situation and would ask a lot of questions that I wouldn't know how to answer. At what age would it be appropriate to explain that type of thing to a kid? I worry for that little boy because I'm sure at some point as he gets older and kids in school talk about their parents and what they do for work, he's going to have to tell about how his father is in jail because he had his mother killed. I seriously just want to hug this kid whenever I see him because I feel so bad for him. Jeez, I'm worried about how to explain his "situation" to my son, I couldn't imagine how his grandparents explained or how they are going to explain to him why he doesn't have a mommy and daddy like the other kids.

My daughter's uncle on her mother's side died when she was 3 or 4. It was a bit abstract for her and she still talks about "uncle Jamie" being in heaven, but she kinda sorta gets it. She's 5 now and one of her cats at her mom's house died recently and she really seemed to understand that. F'in kitty heaven!!
 
Seattlehole peeps: whatever bar it is must have Sunday Ticket. Seattle is the only place in the country getting Tennessee/Cleveland outside of those two areas, and then we're blacked out of the second game in the afternoon due to 'Hawks/Falcons.

Obviously we've taken a fews points of departure since high school, but this would be the Monday morning convo if we worked together:

Him: Hey, dude...how was the long weekend?

Me: Nice and mellow, family stuff...took the kids to Seussical, day at the Bronx Zoo, toddler birthday party. The usual. You?

Him: Tracked a black bear for 3 days. Took him down from 30 yards just as he was turning to charge.

Me: :mellow:

I grew up hunting white tail deer, but I can't even imagine the mindset anymore.

ETA: I think I exaggerated the guesstimate on the weight. Still a ####### badass.

I saw that. Usually the weird regional stuff makes sense (division rival, etc). In this case, I can't understand why Seattle would show Ten/Cle instead of Pitt/Hou liek the rest of the country outside of Ten and Cle.

All I care about is the RedZone. They surf the games far better than I do.

:yes: Absolutely. Bit sweeter than cattle beef.

Adam got his bear up in the U.P., where they seem to be much tougher and more gamey tasting because their diet is mostly just what they can find in the woodlots and forest. If you shoot one in the southern lower peninsula, where there are a lot of farm crops for them to naw on all year, they're not as tough and seem to have a much better taste.

Must be quite a rush bringing one down.

That's pretty cool but who needs an entire head of garlic? You cooking for all the mattress guys like Clemenza? I take a couple of cloves at a time and do the flat-blade of the knife thing like that Chinese guy did above.

Then I put them in a grinder. You potheads know what I'm talking about.

 
Best story of the evening: group of Asians come in to my friend's bar. One comes up to my friend and asks for a lambcock. My friend doesn't know what this is. LAMBCOCK! the woman insists. My friend asks her to point to what she wants. She points to the Bacardi and then a Coke sign.
