It's take your wife to blog day!
Well, the World Series is almost over and soon the off season madness will begin. Right now, all is quiet in Twins land.

Sorry i haven't written lately? You haven't noticed? I guess when you only have 10s of readers a day, a new blogger can exist incognito.

A blog that reaches ten+ people every day is the perfect spot to shock the hell out of this team. Enjoy, Go Twins!!!!....Shawn in Binghamton with a KISS of cherry
