And the season is officially under way!

While I'm not one to follow sports, I do like almost everything that surrounds them-- excluding the parking and traffic issues, angry fans, over-priced concession and bad, expensive beer to name a few!
So, if that's the case, what do I like about them? There seems to be something in the air when people gather to see these over-payed athletes hit, throw, or kick a ball around. Something infectious that gets the spirits sky high, regardless of the weather-- even though we did luck out this year.
Target Field and Peavey Plaza were over-flowing with all the Twins fans this year. I even had one passerby ask me what was going on and why there were so many people everywhere. Apparently the Mauer, Cuddyer, and Morneau jerseys weren't enough of a hint.

Turkeys go to College

Who knew that turkeys even existed outside of Thanksgiving? Ok, bad joke. But perhaps they figured it was safe to wonder freely about the University of Minnesota's east bank campus because Easter is around the corner. It's the pigs that should be getting nervous... 

These two turkeys showed no fear as they walked about a busy bus route Wednesday evening. One even flew up 15 feet into a tree (and scared the bejesus out of one unexpecting squirrel).

Fon-DO!!

The Melting Pot took care of me when I spent an afternoon there for a restaurant review for The Journal last Friday.
I photographed a flaming Disaronno Meltdown. Holy moley.... I may have to spend another afternoon and evening there soon...
