Alright alright.  Now that the weather is cooling down and I have finished watching most of the television that I have on DVD I guess it is time for me to get back into this blog thing also.  So much awesomeness has happened in the past month that I just don’t know where to begin.  My birthday was quite a bit of fun and I got a lot of sweet stuff like a dartboard and Rick Springfield’s Greatest Hits.  Now, I know that most of you are expecting me to say that my past month has been consumed by me spending entire days with that CD on repeat, practicing for the World Tournament of Darts, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to do that because two days before my big day I had a bit of a bike accident and now am left with an AC separation in my right shoulder.  A month later I am still pretty useless, and the only thing that I can lift over my head is my own arm, but even that is an improvement.  Three weeks until my next dodgeball tournament.  I guess we will just have to wait and see how that one works out. 

Other awesomeness over the past month:

Twins win and Detroit loses, which leads to a day game tomorrow, which I will be attending due to the fact that it is a day game and Emily’s father works for a living.  Woo Hoo!

We travel to Purdue to see the Gophers lose (weird), but still get to stay in possibly the worst hotel in the state, which was awesome.  There were five of us in a smoking room with one tiny bed and stains on the floor, but at least I found a very pretty lady under the bed.

Probably the high point of September though, was my trip to San Francisco.  I was there for only a week, but I too fell in love, so Sammie, hands off, I saw her first.  Just a few of the things that happened while there include having a fancy four course meal on the top floor of the tallest building in the city, riding on a bus that almost went careening off a very steep cliff, seeing two whales (a mother and cow) double breech 15 yards from our boat, and getting lots of free stuff at a delicious restaurant just because we had to wait to be seated.  Sweet.  I also did all the touristy stuff like go to Alcatraz, get my picture taken in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, stand in the Haight Ashbury intersection, see some gays, and hug a giant tree; all in all a very well rounded trip.  I will have to go back someday, but my next trip to California will have to be to visit Phil and see the Price is Right before Bob dies. 

Finally, I started subbing for St. Louis Park last week.  I guess I had to start contributing to society once again.  The IRS will be pleased, I’m sure.
