So, I’m back.  And I’ve seen Minneapolis. 

First, there was the official business — the convention I was going to, where I actually touched… nay, held Bob Barker’s microphone!  The guy who does the morning show on the local pop station actually bought it off eBay for $20,000, and he brought it down to the panel we did. 

Then, there was the playtime.  I have to admit seeing an indoor baseball game really tripped me out.  I felt like I was at a high school baseball game, and it didn’t really feel like the field was as big as it actually was.  The cool thing was that Frank Thomas hit his 500th home run at the game we were at — we sat down in our kickass seats (3rd base line, right behind home plate) and then he hit it.  And of course, what trip to Minneapolis would be complete wthout a jaunt out to The Mall of America?

Thankfully, now I’m home.  I was only away for a few days, but I’m really glad I’m back in my own apartment and life is getting back to normal.  Except now that stuff has piled up on my TiVo, so I must attack it now.  Yar!
