tap my drum

 tonight, i went to the glow holiday lights festival at the saints stadium in st. paul. i had been there before, but i think there were a few new things and i didn't mind. one of these was 'tap my drum'. i saw some kids beating on the drum, then i waited for my turn. nice how it lit up when someone beats on the drum. i liked how one of the light displays was a big ball with the saints logo on it. when it is at their stadium this makes perfect sense to me. i was recognized twice by employees from attending baseball games there. first was the ticket taker, then an usher-tainer in the warming house/museum. i was there for just under two hours, touring the museum near the end of the night. and it was pointed out to me how there is a gopher near the floor, in reference to the movie 'caddyshack', hadn't noticed this before. i heard an announcement shortly thereafter, figuring it meant closing time was soon, and i got in line right away for the giant slide. and as usual, i screamed like lt. dan from 'forrest gump' during the hurricane. and when it was done i said 'worth it!' nice how the donut hole was filled in so my butt wasn't on the track at all. and of course, i did the typical chores and errand running before i made it to the stadium. in the morning there was going to the post office, but no orders to be picked up. then i went to the half price books in st. paul. the time magazine i was looking for wasn't there, but i bought a charlie brown cookbook. it was on sale, so i liked getting a good deal on it. nearby was a jimmy john's sandwich shop, i had lunch there. then i went home and watched some of the army-navy football game on CBS, although i fell asleep for a little while during it. navy won it. then i went to aldi for groceries. late in the evening, after getting back from the stadium, i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 10 cents.
