This Side of Lost

I'm going to disconnect this computer soon, but before I go:

I'm leaving for California on Thursday. I am driving Llewellyn, our Honda Accord, the 2100 miles. I'll probably be stopping in Salina, KS, Grand Junction, CO, and Barstow, CA, on the way. I hope to arrive on Sunday in the morning. Once I'm there, I'll be pretty busy buying a bed and food and all that good stuff, so it might be a while before I am reachable by the intarwubs again.

Dina, the delightful manager of my apartment building knows I'm coming. Allied is going to move our stuff. The cats have tickets booked. I think everything is taken care of right now. I hope. Dear Lord.

Thanks for being an awesome place to live, Bloomington. Hopefully we'll be back to visit. Northridge, you better be an awesome place to live. OR ELSE.

And last, but not least, how great are the Minnesota Twins right now? They have won 32 of their past 40 games, good for an 80% winning percentage. They have two Cy Young Award candidate lefties in the rotation, a bullpen that is nearly flawless, MLB's leading hitter in Joe Mauer, a bona-fide slugger in Justin Morneau, and a lineup that hits consistently from top to bottom. After a miserable first two months, they are amazingly back in the postseason race, only two games behind in the wild card standings. They haven't been this fun to watch in a long time.

That is all. Talk to you from LA soon.
