Meet Me in St. Louis

Whew. Just got back from our Christmas week with family in St. Louis. Gadzooks that's a long drive. Especially with kids. But, the magic of the dvd player did its thing, and John and Hanna were pretty good. In a sign of the times, we passed a number of other vehicles that also had a screen down playing some video. It got be a game to see who could guess what they were watching in the few seconds it took to roar by them. (I wanted to get home, so I might have leaned on the gas a bit.)

(Here's my travel guide. A great place for kids in the St. Louis area, besides the zoo, is The Magic House.)

Will unwind a bit, wait for the world to stop spinning, and then try this blogging thing I've heard so much about.

I come home to find former Twins pitching great Jeff Reardon was arrested in Florida for armed robbery. Eek. He was a big reason the Twins won the World Series in '87. When I went to the ALCS games in '87 at the Dome against Detroit, I wore my Twins jersey, and my beard was more full then, and with my dark hair I looked a bit like Reardon, and walking around outside the Dome on the Concourse people would joke and say "Hey, there's Reardon!"

Well, I hope when I'm walking on the street now people don't point and say "Hey, there's an armed robber!"
