Whoooooohooooooo! The Twins home opener is less than four hours away! I've been waiting for this all winter. Spring is really back, even though the dome will most likely be covered with snow this last day of March. The Twins are playing the undernamed Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and I hope that these Califunkians enjoy the snow. I know that it'll be gone directly, but I hope it throws off their game. It'll be great to see Torii Hunter back, but it'll be strange. We can all agree on that. It will be really interesting to see the crowd react to Hunter; I'm sure that it will be reverent and civilized. I think that this quote from Gardenhire sums up the feeling here in MN:
"I love him dearly," Gardenhire said. "And I hope he goes 0-for-16."
So, I'm very excited to get home, kick back and watch the new look Twins.
I got my taxes done last week and I'm happy that it's over. Besides a few last loose strings, this is perhaps my last financial interaction with the state of CA. Here's hoping. Whenever I think of taxes, I think of Prince John from Disney's Robin Hood. I know it's a kid's movie, but dang I love it. Check out this funny little sliver:

Peter Ustinov as Prince John is phenomenal. I think that the misremembered script for this movie has been a part of every BWCAW trip I've ever been on. Hooray for a nicely timed quote! Oooodalolly.

Dearest Brother,
I am now available to comment on your blogs. Don't worry, I'll keep it clean and professional. I throughly enjoyed the robin hood clip. It does bring back memories of the B-dubs. Now, don't you worry or think too much about what you write, I'll just quietly sit back and read. I feel like a blog sniper now, waiting in the weeds to shoot down unexpecting blogs. In conclusion, the new word floating around is "snuff box" an actual anatomic location between the 1st and 2nd digit(thumb and pointer finger for you).
D out
You have a lot to say about a lot of things.
Boo yah Twinkies. I heart baseball. At least as far as sports are concerned.
