All work parties should have a dog for the introverts to talk to

Yep, I'll be over here, introverting [first person to sit at a table]

I think I can pretend to be an extroverted librarian...until I meet up with the Real extroverted librarians. These folks are a force. I shuffle meekly to the food table and wish that this party had dogs for me to talk to.

MiLB is a national treasure. #MiLB

Fireworks after the Twins game? Before Memorial Day? Without having said one word about it during the game? Ok

Fuck cancer.

Oh boy, storms! I enjoy a good storm when I'm at work. #mnwx

Yup. I hear it's mosquito-like drone right now

Glad you're feeling better! I'm looking forward to all the mnwx this spring/summer.

FOLLOW THE GOURD!!

Awooooo?

My favorite dinosaur has always been a pterodactyl...until a six-year-old "well, actually"'d me to say that pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs, they're pterosaurs. There's apparently a SUPER IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE. I still haven't recovered, so I haven't picked an Actual Dinosaur to be my favorite yet.

"Will he ride alone?"

Goddamn, it was worth the slog. I've continued right into book #12. No spoilers please, I'm enjoying this.

Garrett Crochet is their ace, right? How is this happening? What is going on? Is this real life?

Okay, WTF is happening with the Twins? Is Derek Shelton a genie or something?

I'm fine with it, I'm excited! But, wow.

A cute dog sleeping on the couch, with a stuffy ball in her mouth

Tuna fell asleep with her stuffy toy in her mouth. Too tired after a long day of lying around except for an hour or so of Dog Park.

That was a super long rumble of thunder. It went for, like, 30 seconds

Two owls in a tree: an adult and an owlet

The Silverwood owls have two owlets! Plenty of photographers with impressive gear around, but I just have this little pic. It's windy and they're both annoyed, I imagine

"Why don't Americans–"

Motherfucker, I live in Minneapolis

After six weeks of construction, I have now showered in my new amazing shower TWO TIMES in the last 24 hours. It is glorious. I never want to leave it.

Twins pitcher Mick Abel, his smiling face atop a long neck. Kid's a giraffe.

If Mick Abel decides that baseball just isn't his thing, he could have a career playing Cardassians in Star Trek. He's got a neck that could handle even the most magnificent of Cardassian neck ridges.

Woo hoo 10-4 good buddies. #mntwins

Still waiting in the rain #mntwins

this is me, by the way. Theoretically I have a Bluesky that's all about baseball...but I keep forgetting about it.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging thunderstorm, an Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, an owl keeping watch, and a basket of emotional support scones.

All of y'all going out for #nokings heed my warning: wear warm clothes! Yes, it's spring and yes, we are tough; but the wind + temp = wear your flannel lined pants and a good hat.

Delighted to see that Carlos Santana is still wearing his socks way up over the knees. I liked him a lot when he was with the Twins...him and his pantaloons.

Nah, I AM looking forward to the season. I'll be at Target Field next Friday; and look forward to my prediction (a lousy season) being totally wrong.
