About last night...

Since I live up in MN, I guess I ought to mention how amazing last night's twins game was. Not being from here, I'm not so big on (continually) getting tickets for the final game in the metrodome. I was there a few weeks ago and that was good enough for me.

I didn't watch the whole thing because I was with my team practicing, but save for a few innings, I saw the entire thing and especially the 12th. I've had to replace one of my team members this past season. His replacement is a friend of mine, who's a salesman for stuff that's related to my work (or, I guess, what used to be my work.) I told him of my current predicament and he had all sorts of info for me. To make a completely dated reference, I learned that he has a fairly big rolodex, but I guess one has to if you're in sales.

So he's going to give me some names and all that stuff so I'm feeling optimistic at the moment. After practice, we had a beer and I suggested that the two of us form a small consulting company. This is easy for me to suggest as I have zero income, but he's apparently thought about it before, but said no.

What else to post...

I get to go out of the house today for a tuneup for my car. I had made the appointment a week ago and actually didn't remember the time because I had put it down in my work outlook calendar and not my google calendar. Fortunately, they called with a reminder.

While I wait for my car, I can start the book Upgrade your Life by Gina Trapani. Supposedly, it'll make me more efficient at work and home. I guess I'll test the work part later, but I'll let you (whoever you are) know if it's worth a read.

In other news, the ham and bean soup turned out very good. The recipe calls for a ham steak and a ham hock, which I followed. Of course, ham hocks come in packs of 4, so I have 3 leftover ham hocks. I feel like the soup is worth making in the future and I kind of feel like I'd just throw in all 4 ham hocks and leave out the steak.

Time for me to get something done.
