Take me out…to the ballgame

      No Comments on Take me out…to the ballgame

A week and a half ago, I went to my first Twins Game.  I love baseball.  Going to a game is also a pretty great date.  Why?  It’s a great combination of factors. It has sports which most men (and some women like me) enjoy. It’s usually outside, so you get fresh air and sunshine (unless it rains or you… Read more »

Want something “free” for your birthday?

I’m not a huge coupon-er.  I want to be, but I’m just not that organized.  A few years ago, however, a friend of mine mentioned how he was getting freebies on his birthday.  Since his birthday is two days before mine, I got excited and did a little research.  Thank you, Google.

A Californian Wine Tastes in Minnesota

Last weekend, Paul took me to some wineries in Minnesota for my birthday. Yes, friends, there are wineries in Minnesota.  I have heard locals speak of such places with condescension in their voices.  Personally, I am open to wineries anywhere in the United States or the countries in Europe I would visit.  I try not to be a wine snob. … Read more »

Mundane Habits: Greeting Card Display

Last weekend, it was my birthday, hence, I was given a few cards.  Even in this digital age, I still love getting paper cards.  See them displayed? How long do you typically keep them around?  I don’t really have a set in stone time limit.  It can be anywhere from a week to a month, depending on how distracted I… Read more »
