It's been a busy few weeks up here in Minny . . . but everything is going pretty well. Mom and Dad's visit was great, despite the fact that the Saints went 0-3 during the trip. They won for the remainder of the season though, and ended the second half of the season in First Place, which means we're in the Playoffs! Awesome. We're squaring off against the Lincoln Saltdogs in a best-of-five series beginning tonight in Lincoln. That means that games three (on the 30th) and four (on the 31st, if necessary) will be at Midway Stadium, with game five (if necessary) returning to Nebraska. If we win, then we'll be in the Championship series the following week. Very Exciting.
I've got mixed feelings, because I won't be able to work the game of the 30th, which may or may not be the final Saints game of the year. I would love to be there, but I booked a commercial (for Cenex-an engine lubricant) that has an overnight shoot that night. Damn. And Hooray.
I also booked a commercial for Comcast, which shoots next week. Man, when it rains, it pours!
In the meanwhile, I'm increasing my Segway hours and getting ready for Nate (Schroeder) and Karen's wedding on the 7th. The old gang is all converging on the Twin Cities, and we're heading up to the North Shore for a weekend of Celebration. Should be fun! I'll break all this down in greater detail soon, but for now, here's some pictures from the trip!
Robo-Parents . . . the future is now!! (Nobody Crashed . . . mostly)
How Many Mikes? A Grizzalicious Pose.
Warming up before the game! (My arm is still sore!)
Sitting Between the Rain. (On a side note, notice the person sitting directly behind Dad? Two games after this one, a kid was sitting in that seat, and took a line-drive foul ball to the face. It was one of the most brutal shots I'd ever seen. At last update, the kid had a broken cheek bone, but was otherwise going to be OK.)
Chillin' with the 'Gooch. Oh you know, just hanging out with former gold-medal winner Kristi Yamaguci. She was one of several celebrities who played in the Mark Parrish Softball Fundraiser the other night. I made her laugh.
peace
