boy wonder play, harold stassen

 in the afternoon i went to the history theater in downtown st. paul and saw the play 'boy wonder', about Minnesota governor harold stassen. for a while i only knew this as the name of one of the state office buildings bear the capitol. what i liked most was the scene with the cowboys from south st. paul that help with his campaign. the opener of act two was with charles lindbergh, a reminder of another play i had seen there many years ago. during intermission another attendee said she nearly quit her membership when they made a mockery of the lindbergh baby. it was my first visit to this venue in over four years. it was not quite half full. i had a seat in the balcony, good view of the stage. after it was done i went home and watched the Hawkeye football game. i missed the first half, started watching early in the second half with iowa leading 7-3 against wisconsin. iowa went on to win 15-6. in the morning i went to the post office and picked up two e-bay orders. then i went to the credit union and dumped change into their counter, over 11 dollars, which went into my savings account. at midday i went to have a sandwich at jersey mike's, noticed a family of five arrive after me, including three boys. they were ages six to ten i guess. they had gray wolf lodge ears on, one was wearing a packers jersey, donald driver, another had a pokemon shirt on. in the evening after the game was done i went to aldi for groceries. then i went to the liquor store and got another can of natural ice, so now there are five beers waiting. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 53 cents.
