Saw this too late. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks.

Ended up at Victor's 1959.

Was quite tasty.



Oh yeah... and Eagan parents are a whiney bunch. Glad we thumped 'em 7-2. :cool:

Figured it might be late but you never know.
I seem to recall them being whiney in kid hockey, too.

HHT! Take that, Enrico.

Saw about a 9' gator this afternoon in Alabama. Might have even squeaked out 10'. Big one.

Watching the Vikes and the Lions, AKA the game neither team wants to win.

So I think I have tossed/lost an envelope full of tickets to BU away games. I just went through a bag of trash to see if I may have inadvertently tossed them. Nothing in there - may have already been tossed. Including my ticket for Tuesday night's game in Connecticut. Great.

Nope, it's Union fans. Unquestionably. Union fans.

Obviously you've never encountered UND fans.

Long weekend. Was absolutely great until the news of Flip hit. :( The locals who listened to any sort of sports radio in the last month or so probably could guess something was up, but it's still shocking and heart-wrenching.

Kind of wanted footage of Scarlet walking up to the ticket office and asking, "Don't you know who I am?! I could get you fired!" ;)

Evening, Extras. Back at work. I haven't had the over 550lb patient yet and I foolishly noted that out loud to the hubs and guess who was in my patient assignment tonight! Even with 6 of us moving him around in the bed, it's just brutal. Hopefully this doesn't mean that I have him all week (sun, mon, and tues nights). I will say that while the hot tub was effective on Thursday last week, I don't want to make it a regular thing as it cuts into my sleeping time (though it might be worth it).

Nice relaxing weekend (Fri, Sat, Sunday day) - didn't do anything Friday, Saturday we went to the movies (Crimson Peak) and got errands done, and today almost finished Mr. Robot and tidied the house. Now spending the down time planning our trip to the Culinary Institute of America next Saturday for dinner - looking for fun local activities during the day. So far, I hope it's nice out since it looks like a tour of FDR's house is the top attraction. I'm also trying to squeeze in a visit to my grandmother's gravesite, if I feel I can handle it. We'll definitely be doing the tour of the CIA on Friday evening.

Good to hear that you found the tickets, Scarlet. It's one thing when it's season tickets, but another to away games!

Good Morning, MEUSA! :)


Good Morning to the rest of tLodge! :)

When I was working as a floor nurse they were doing the first bypasses experimentally. THey used to weigh the pts on the loading dock. 2 beds bolted together. People came over for rehab as they were so obese they couldn't do things like toilet themselves. I recall the 800lb # floating around. No way to move these people without risk to your body. NPR had a really interesting show on nursing injuries a few months ago- one of the VA hospitals is using all assistive devices for transfers, etc. Pretty much proved there is no good technique for transfer and that when you help each other the risk increases. Yep. I am an audiovisual aid for that.

Sorry Gurt, I wasn't on here all weekend. Next time PM me before you come up and I'll get you recommendations. BTW, Eagan dad coach when our bantams played them in a Duluth tourney went after one of our d-men in the handshake line. Apparently he didn't like that our tall, gangly d-man defended himself when their cheapshot kid went after our guy well away from the play. Maybe the most ridiculous display I witnessed in all those years of youth hockey. Well, OK second most ridiculous after a dad on that same team went after his own kid on the bench the night before this game. :rolleyes:

On another topic, Friday I met with a couple people who have a start-up company who are looking to fill a role I would fit in pretty well. I would get to form my own department from the ground up. Not an exciting project type (k-12 education), but it would be fun to start a group of my own. Set the standards and procedures, learning from all the places I've worked who all did it wrong.:D

No worries. I asked last minute. We were only up for the one night as our first game on Saturday was at 5 PM. Weird timing on the tourney overall as our last game was yesterday at 5 PM. We were the only team (of like 18-20) that travelled in from out of the area though, so the organizers weren't worried about the late starts.

Still... even if I was local, I wouldn't be thrilled about a 7 PM game on a Sunday night which is when some of the last games were played.

We got to the championship, but fell to a Woodbury team. Their parents were even worse than the Eagan ones... and they beat us. News flash parents... every once in a while, something that one of your kids did was actually a penalty/infraction and not EVERYTHING that ours did was. Wish we would have brought our full varsity team instead of the varsity/jv mix that we did. Still had them 3-3 late in the third quarter. Oh well.

I was a coach throughout youth hockey, so never had to listen to that crap. I often wonder if the whiners actually ever played a sport.

I was really close to taking a kleenex to one of the Wayzata dads in the semis. I seriously wanted to pull off one of his arms and cram it down his throat to shut him up. Luckily he got quiet once we pulled away.


Overall though, very nice although short visit to the area that we almost chose to settle in after college. Always reminds me of why we wanted to move there and why we liked it so much.

Some of the worst parents we encountered when Lil was in kid sports were the idjits who had actually played when they were younger. Either they thought they were fairly good when young and thought it was bad luck not being discovered or they were awful and didn't realize it. They also have this odd expectation that youth sport should have professional level refs and are incensed when they don't. I do not miss that part of things at all. Maybe having had exposure to high level sport before the exposure to the youth sport jaded me but I don't get people having the inability to differentiate between adult sport and kid sport. :rolleyes:
