The Saint Paul Saints, a minor league baseball team I read about recently in an excellent book called Slouching Toward Fargo, had a special promotion last week in honor of National Tap Dance Day. It was bobblefoot day, a not so subtle reference to something that happened at the nearby Minneapolis airport. The team said that the it was a “tribute to all their toe-tapping friends and fans from around the nation who may ever have set foot in Minneapolis-St. Paul… even for just a change of planes.” This is not to be confused with the Larry Craig Action figure.
Great Show Tonight
Chip is gonna be on the Ministry of Secret Jokes show tonight at Fergie’s. Went to the last one. Took a little warming up to get into it, because I came in late, but it turned out to be pretty hilarious. Starts at 9 p.m. Here’s some more info courtesy of Phawker.
Tutors and Coaches Needed
Hey gang, our summer basketball league starts this weekend, and I still need coaches, referees, general helpers, etc. Also, this summer, I am helping put together a pretty intensive study program for about 10-12 of the teens in one of our leagues. I need someone who is looking (teacher, perhaps?) for a little extra scratch during the summer. Looking primnarily for English and/or Math help. 3 or 4 days a week, 2 hours a day, and pretty good pay. Please contact me if you are interested in either. Thanks!

Pics of last weeks winners
Alright, running a little late because of the holiday with last weeks photos, but now is the time. Following her brilliant comments about how the Chinese earthquake was caused by kharma, we dedicate the questions under the pictures to Sharon Stone. One guess per person. No cheating.
Question of the Week
After building this cathedral in the late 1550s, legend has it that architect Postnik Yakovlev was blinded, so that he could never build anything to rival its beauty again. What is the name of this famous cathedral?
Cruisin’ Back
Hope everybody had a great holiday weekend. Mine was awesome. Got to hang out with Lucia (who is turning one in July) and the rest of the family all weekend, and even got in a beach day yesterday. Getting back on the road now. In the meantime, a few things of note:
- Dunno if you saw Jim Salisbury’s ratings of major league ballparks on Sunday. If not, here it is. Pretty interesting.
- Happy birthday, Todd Bridges!
- Something tells me that when I arrive home from my trip, I will not find a large bag of dope in my suitcase. However, if I was flying back from Tokyo, well, I wouldn’t be so sure.
