Friday after work Sam, a friend from work who is from the Mankato area, and I are going up to Baltimore to see the Twins take on the Orioles. We were lucky enough to score great seats, second row about 2/3rds of the way down third base line. So if you get the game on TV, look for us in our Minnesota caps.

9/22 Minnesota Twins at Camden Yards
Posted by Dave on September 20th, 2006Minnesota 16 Carolina 13 (OT)
Posted by Dave on September 19th, 2006What a game! I missed this game sunday since I was in Atlanta, but I’ve seen the highlights, and watched the condensed version on Comcast On-Demand where you see the game condensed to about 20 minutes by taking out all the time between plays and with plays of little importance (like a 2 yard run) removed. Minnesota did just enough to win, Carolina did just enough to lose and I think we had a little luck thrown in. Hopefully we’ll fare as well next week against the undefeted Bears. Also all 3 of my fantasy teams won last week to bring my combined season record to 5-1.
Atlanta
Posted by Dave on September 19th, 2006I spent this past weekend in Atlanta visiting my girlfriend Ingrid. We had lots of fun, we visited Centenial Park which was built for the ‘96 Olympics. It features a ‘fountain of rings’ in which children run through under the hot Georgia sun. We also visited Atlanta Station and spent time at her mom’s house, who recently had surgery. I hadn’t been to Georgia since I was in basic training at Fort Jackson in ‘94, but I never made it up to down to Atlanta. I had lots of fun and look forward to visiting again.
Vikings 19 Redskins 16
Posted by Dave on September 12th, 2006I had to chance to go to the Vikings/Redskins game at FedEx field tonight. The game was close and very exciting, the Redskins had a record attendance of over 90 thousand people. I was decked out in purple, with a Kevin Williams jersey and a Vikings cap. There were a smattering of viking purple here and there, but we were out numbered probably by a hundred to one. We scored the go ahead field goal with about a minute and a half left, and Washington tried to mount a come back but their field goal attempt on 4th down from the 30 sailed wide left.
