Ok, so It was really a 231, but they add in my 67 league handicap.  I bowl every Monday for the KYMN Radio team.  It's the Businessmen League at the Jesse James Lanes here in Northfield.  I recently purchased a new ball which helps with my hook.  This is my first year doing this, so I'm gradually getting better each week.  My first game was a 194 and my last game was a 126 in Monday's three game set.  Guess I need to work on my endurance. 

Scoring was 9, /, /, /, X, X, X, X, X, X, /.

We have been in town since 1981, but it was only in the last couple of years that I noticed the tree.  By “the tree” I mean the giant cottonwood tree by the old metal bridge on Canada Ave., Northeast of Northfield.  When the tree finally caught my eye I was totally amaze by the size of this “old man of the woods”.  The base of the tree was hollowed out, but it still looked strong and not in danger of toppling. 

After attending the last regular season game at the Metrodome the Twins beat the Detroit Tigers in a one game playoff, 163rd game of the season.  This following 12 inning game was considered by many to be one of the most entertaining games in Twins history, considering the Twins were 7 games back just weeks prior and was the second time in 4 seasons that the Twins beat the failing Tigers on the last day of the season. 

In a stark turn of momentum the Twins were swept in 3 games during the following ALDS by the “Evil Empire” (Yankee’s).  I feel lucky to have had my team with the Central Division title as they left the Metrodome. 

Here are photo galleries from the last games that I attended.  Third to last.  Last game.

Following the last out during the final game at the Metrodome ever, they removed the home plate and moved it to the new Target Field. 

I posted the following blog on my old website 3 years ago when I spent a lot of time hunting for the hidden horse shoe.  This year I am one of those hiding it.  Little did I know I was wasting my time, if I had paid any attention to the rule about it having to be on public property.  Regardless, the clues that I did tie into Oaklawn Cemetery in Northfield were just to ironic to not be part of something bigger.  Today, I am assured that it was just pure coincidence.  Read over the old post and take close note of the names on the stones.

A great time was had by all! Aug 21-23 2009. We stayed in the resort the whole time. There was so much to do that we didn't need to leave. The facility is immense.

Knowing there is nothing planned for the empty field to it's north, the new road markings at the Mendards in Dundas lead traffic into a curb.

How about a road trip to all 12 Northfield's across the US? Doesn't make you feel very exclusive, does it?

I've seen thousands and thousands of movies. People often discuss their favorite movies, which can be a daunting task. In 1999 I found my favorite movie, "Magnolia". It features a half dozen of my favorite actors and a top-notch writer/director. Here is the trailer, which doesn't do the movie justice. Go rent it, sit back, and be ready trade 3 hours for the movie of a life time.
