Well, my first and so far only Twins game of the season I got snowed on. Yep, snowed on at a baseball game at the end of April. It was COLD too, so cold that when we left the game (in the bottom of the fourth because it was SNOWING, oh, and the Twins were playing so poorly) we couldn't feel our legs. It took the entire walk out of the stadium for my leg joints to loosen up to the point where I no longer felt like an octogenarian hobbling around the concourse. We stopped at Kieran's for a drink but didn't even stay to watch the whole game, it was that bad. This season is so different from last year.
Anyway, spring has been an inconstant presence here lately which has made it hard to do some of the things I was hoping to do. It rained most of last week so there was no opportunity to walk the lakes, though I did get my bike tuned up and I'm looking forward to sunshine this week so I can ride it to work! Anne and I did enjoy a day of some sunshine and we went to Unique Thrift (I can check that off my list!) and spent some time wandering Northeast. I went to a couple of fun parties, including a tiny housewarming party and two birthday celebrations. One birthday party was at the Bradstreet Crafthouse in the 601 Graves Hotel, super fancy!
Some of my fun Minneapolis summer may be slightly curtailed by my summer reading list. It's only May and yet I'm already reading! It's not even for any of my classes! Oh right, I'm entering a master's program. Sigh. One book is for orientation and the other eight were recommended by my advisor. I've already started but I know some of them will be challenging, particularly the ones on IT. I'm excited in spite of that or maybe because of that, though! I'm ready for a challenge.
