Thanks to the graciousness of a new friend and the convenience of a 7-on / 7-off work schedule I was able to take in the second home game of the inaugural season in the Twin's new outdoor baseball stadium. The park is literally steps from our house and Richard and I have watched in awe over the last few years as the ballpark has been constructed so precisely in the middle of a city with minimal disruption (well, they did have to move a train track five feet over to accommodate). Though the Twins lost 6-3 to the Boston Red Sox and it rained a good bit of the time, it was a magnificent day. The location of the seat didn't hurt.
Next time I'll make sure Richard plays hooky.
