“Sometimes I write drunk and revise sober, sometimes I write sober and revise drunk”.

Here’s the thing, I fell asleep last night sitting up in bed with an ice cold Goose in the hand, watching 3 games of baseball in succession on TV - or was it at one, I dunno. Cos that’s what you can do when on vacation. After a glorious dinner – Latin American – and a bottle of Spanish tempranillo, we returned to our hotel to discuss what we are to do. L was buggered, while I wanted to go to the ball game – Twins v. White Sox, 200 mtrs from my room. You can see the ground from our room (as well as the basketball stadium across the street). Unfortunately it rained, so to bed I went.

You may ask whywe weren’t out and about. Minnepolis has a vibrant nightlife, but it’s more for the youngies. Once dinner is finished, so are we. We found a grog shop. Bought a 750ml bottle of Grey Goose Orange for $32. Niow that’s what I’m talkin about. I think the standard bottles were mid $20’s. A whopping 1.5 lt bottle was change back from $60!! Unfortunately the single malts, of which there were many, were not as cheap. But I can tell you a $32 bottle produces many good dreams. And I’m yet to find out the game scores…

As I said yetsreday, if ever you are in this town, go to Hell’s Kitchen. At risk of sounding like a sponsored message, their hotcakes are the best darned hotckes we have ever had. Period.

We are currently at the airport awaiting the arrival of Gary & Jen, from where we commence… Road Trip No 2. With Lynne riding her bike on the wrong side of the road the other day and running a stop sign, I think I’ll nominate Gaz as the first driver. (And yes, as good a driver as Nick is, he twice ended up on the wrong side of the road.It wss funny tho!)  You just gotta remain alert around here people of Minnesota, for we're acomin'..
