Baseball Park Tour

And we are off! Scott and I are taking a baseball park tour. We left Minneapolis 90 degree weather Saturday morning for Kansas City's 100 degree weather!

There is NOTHING to see from Lakeville to Des Moines! Just flat farm land. Thank goodness we had some entertainment! On our way down we listened to David Sedaris' Naked on CD. Freaking hilarious especailly with Amy Sedaris (comedian) doing voices!

We stopped into the High Life Lounge in Des Moines. The place is famed for not serving beer introduced after the 1970's. Good food and the place looks like it was straight out of the 70's.
We made it to KC; our hotel overlooks the stadiums. Quite a sight! I can't figure out how to upload pics with my iPhone; so I'll add later!

More to come on the BBQ and blues (chris bell).

Sunday- at the Kauffman Stadium! This place is amazing; and it's been around since the 70's. Just proves if you do it right the first time you can use it and love for a long time. also whoever thought baseball should be inside be stoned. Seriously! There is no better way to watch a game!! Even in 95 degree weather!

An eventful game lead to an uneventful drive to St Louis. There were no less than 100 blown tires on the side of the road and at least 10 XXX adult book and video stores; which Scottie commented on how busy each of these stores were!

Need to comment on brewery restaurant.

And its Monday! Nothing like starting the day with a brewer tour! More to come by let's just say we had our fill of free t-shirts and the unwashed.


In St Louis, we are staying near the Union Station (near the river/arch etc.). We ate at a place that brews their own beer (not a chain!); reminds me a lot of Summit beer. Really good food as well!!

Friday night dinner- French Onion Soup

Friday night dinner I made French onion soup (Julia Child). It was Good but next time I would 6 instead of 4 bouiluon cubes, don't pour the soup over the bread (place the bread on top of the soup) then cover with cheese.

I did discover a key to cutting onions without crying (all 1.5 lbs), I wore swim googles. It worked like a charm. But don't remove them in the kitchen, the onions hit you like a brick.

Well it's March 1 and a Monday...

It's the beginning of the month and it's a Monday...a perfect time to start anything. While I didn't get up to workout, I did pack all my lunches and snacks last night in compliance with the Zone. I am training for Grandmas and I am hoping to make my goal of 4 hours. The Zone is suppose to help.

I only have 2 months until school starts for the summer in which I will have 3 week night classes. It will be tough so I need to clamp down a routine ahead of time.

Its been awhile...

Obviously I started this blog and did nothing with it; a New Year's Resolution has been added to my list to start blogging!

New Year's Resolution:
1) Walk Lucy daily
2) Bus/Bike to work
3) Bring my lunch
4) Finish projects
