eagan library

it wasn't originally in my plans to end up at the eagan library, but i went there 'on layover' when i wanted to stay occupied as i was waiting for the second session at the water park to begin. it happens to be in the same community complex. i went to the biography section and leafed through three books. one was by national geographic, 'who's who in american history'. no surprise how basketball players michael jordan and lebron james had pictures in it as both have done movies. another was by beer heiress frances stroh, called 'beer money'. and the third was about satirical columnist art buchwald, called 'funny business'. in both cases it was the titles that led to them standing out from the crowd in that section. besides the first one being a big book. when i made it to the water park i left after the first safety break. it was a shorter visit than previous ones. the lesson learned here is to try to make the annual visit before the final weekend of the season. this was the second straight year where i waited until the end of the season. i went to the cafe and had a fountain drink, and an ice cream bar. the third item was a smucker's uncrustable pb and j sandwich. this was a brief visit as i wanted to get to the next event, a baseball game. the cardinals were playing the twins in nearby minneapolis. the cardinals lost, 6-0. most runs were scored via the long ball. before i made it to the stadium i stopped at bobby and steve's and had a godfather's pizza and some juice. this was where i ate the smucker's sandwich as well. in the morning i did some of the typical errand running. first there was going to the post office, three orders were picked up. then on to the capitol to drop off recycle. then to the copy store, to print the attachments from emails from my insurance agent. along with an event invite for next month. when i got home it was midday and i had a pot pie for lunch. then i laid down for a little while, and when i got up it was time to get to the water park. after the twins game i stopped at a gas station near me and got bottles of milk and orange juice. the one errand i didn't do, get to the grocery store, i can do next morning. during my walks i found 27 cents.
