***This is Cal, cutest puppy ever. She is my neighbor. Bernie would love Cal.***

I was going to post a pre-written entry, but it turns out, I have already posted it. Over a year ago. Wow. I thought it had only been a few months since I wrote it, let alone posted it. This is the one I was going to post, with a few additions.

So I'll write. I gave five dollars to a dude standing at the side of the freeway exit today. I don't know why, I never do that. This cat, though, looked sad. Super sad. So I pulled out five dollars, then he was super happy. I wonder if the fact the episodes of The Wire I've watched recently had anything to do with me giving dude money. See, I told you I'm trying to be more empathetic and understanding!

I'm sitting at my allergist's right now, just got my two injections for the week. Allergy shots are the bomb! When I was a kid, Dad used to give them to me, say once a week. Then my allergist died unexpectedly when I was about ten years old, and that was that for allergy shots--because there was only one allergist in St. Louis back then. Not really. I started getting them again a couple years ago, because I was getting frequent sinus infections. Since then, no more sinus infections. What sucks is that after you get your shots, you have to sit here for a half hour to make certain you don't freak out--your body that is. So here I sit.

I've also been to a bunch of Twins games, to continue from yesterday. I'll get to the house selling in another post. I met Twins pitcher Nick Blackburn, who proceeded to pitch a complete game the next night. There must be some correlation, don't you think? I rode my bike to the Twins game Sunday, met Dennis in the midst of the city and we pedalled together--different bikes--from there. Dennis and I on a tandem would be a hilarious sight. On that day, Francisco Liriano had a perfect game through six (I think, might have been five innings), and a no hitter through seven. That didn't work out, but the Twins won, which is good. For the record, I'm a die-hard Cards fan, always. I went to the Twins game Saturday, too, another winner for the Twinkies. I have to say, aside from Wrigley, Target Field is the best I've ever been too. Blows the new Yankees Stadium away, hands down.

Time to go. Game seven of the Stanley Cup tonight at 7 CDT on NBC. Check it. Chipotle first. Later gators.
