While I Was Away
I haven't updated my blog recently. I guess a combination of time and not feeling inspired to made that happen. Gonna try to stay on it again now though... even if no one reads it, lol.Tina Fey is comedic GOLD. Her hosting SNL was a strong reminder of how far that show has falling without her as head writer. If it wasn't for Kristin Wiig it would be almost unwatchable. This Sarah Palin spoof is priceless!

The Twins Home Opener was a great one! Their new stadium looks gorgeous. I can't wait to see the game I have scheduled to attend, May 9th. It was a sunny, warm (my Minnesota spring standards) day and the Twins beat Boston 5-2. The first hit? By a Twin. The first run scored? By a Twin. The first home run? By a Twin. The first win? By a Twin. The first save? By a Twin. As it should be :) The Twins are off to a 6-2 start against three teams many have picked to win the American League divisions. So I'm definitely hopeful about what is to come.

Some iconic figures have passed away recently. Actor John Forsythe died at 92. I remember how much my grandma loved watching Dynasty so I saw him each week growing up. By all accounts he seemed like a really stand up guy that everyone who he worked with admired. Dixie Carter passed away at 70. That one was a surprise. And it's weird they won't say what the cause of death was. I feel bad for Hal Holbrook. They seemed like a really loving couple. And finally, little Meinhardt Raabe, the diminutive Munchkin Coroner has died. He was 94. Not too many munchkins are left and it's sad to lose another link to such a wonderful movie.
