twins opener, ford wind breaker

 in the afternoon i went to the home opener for the minnesota twins. i was offered a free ticket in the company suite so it was hard to turn down. i met a senior leader for the first time early on. first time i had done such an event since my time in suburban chicago, attending blackhawks and bulls games at the united center. twins lost to seattle 2-1, all scoring was on home runs. odd how the twins player who hit the  home run was pinch hit for in the 9th. the game ended on a warning track fly ball. i had seen the club level before, when attending the twins fan-fest annual event. after the game i didn't feel like waiting for the elevator so i walked down a ramp to the main level. it was nice to get a pocket schedule on the way in and a wind breaker jacket sponsored by the local ford dealers. i had some of the food furnished in the suite, pizza and chicken. also some juice, and a can of budweiser. when walking back to the light rail i noticed all of the media outside the stadium, and not just the local channels but also one from duluth. after i got back to the park and ride i drove over to a church having a fish fry, it had just ended but i was still able to pick up my order. actually i got 3 meals as it was the last fish fry of the season. then i went over to the family dollar and got the last 6-pack of happy drinks as i wanted something besides water to drink with it. then it was to the hy-vee in eagan for my weekly grocery order. and i went to their liquor store, getting a bottle of shiner, so now there are 3 beers waiting. later on i went on walk and found 1 dollar 86 cents. i woke up and the late show was on, james corden, and it was memorable to see an interview with the front-woman of a band called japanese breakfast. she sings real well, but it was distracting during the interview because she kept covering her face, almost like she was embarrassed about something. in the morning i had my car worked on, another expensive repair bill that doesn't thrill me. while waiting for the car to be done i watched a DVD movie, 'the babe', the bio-pic about baseball great babe ruth, when john goodman played him.
