Proud owner of part of a season ticket package
Well, it’s official folks. Ms. Non-Committal has made a tiny (itsy-bitsy) commitment to Baseball. Amy and I will be sitting in Section 227, Row 4, Seats 15/16 for part of the season.
All I got for you are articles!

*We have been dealt a grade of C+ which is…well, okay (just okay, mind you.) My Aunt Karin always said “Cs get Degrees.”
*The writer of this article thinks we should trade Nathan right now and that there is no reason to keep him. Hmm…
Notes: Smith updates camp absences and Gardenhire holds team meeting; Watkins trying to catch on
*We all probably know by now that Liriano is not at camp and you may know that Reyes (who has been scolded on the pages of the Twins homepage) and Casilla are a little late.

Non-baseball, but no less important
Vegan Joe-isms
In response to Kris saying she couldn’t be a vegan because she loves dairy:
“Vegans can have dairy as long as it is from a willing human female.”
Ah, Vegan Joe! For those who do not know of him, Vegan Joe is my friend (who I believe reads this blog so I better be nice) who is a vegan (surprise) and is one of the funniest people I know.
Musica, Musica
Anyone interested in seeing a path in my head that led me to loving Babyshambles? No? Well, read it anyways damn it.

Members – Pete Doherty (Genius #1), Carl Barat (Genius #2), John Hassall, Gary Powell, Johnny Borrell (linked with dating Kirsten Dunst and Emma Watson – Hermione from Harry Potter)
Albums – Up the Bracket and The Libertines (the one I “found”) In 2004 The Libertines broke up and members went their separate way

Album – Waterloo to Anywhere (fan-fucking-tastic!)

Dennys definitely deserves that scolding. Careless doesn't even cover it.
