You know, I was all set to whine about the freaking Twins. "Go with my first choice, go with my first choice!" I was going to serve you guys some whine and cheese (although I think most of you had some last night! ). The rain during my drive into work wasn't helping either.

But something made me feel strangely calm and at peace as I drove in. I finally hit a clear sustained spot with no rain, and there it was, the sun- shaped perfectly round and fiery orange. I guess there were enough clouds, mist, or whatever in the air in that all the rays were blocked- I could look directly into it without squinting. It was beautiful. No joke! It made me feel at peace! That's when I figured that I don't have to whine today. I'll save these whines for another day.

(Also, there were some good-looking girls walking around Michigan Avenue. That always makes me feel better! The Twins giving up 4 earned runs made me feel a little better also! )
