Old Man, Birthday BoyMy apologies for the lack of content here over the past two weeks, but I'm still very busy putting together the annual Rotoworld baseball magazine, which is due at the printer next week. Plus, the Twins haven't done a whole lot worth writing about recently, so you haven't really missed much. I mostly just wanted to check in so that everyone knows I'm still alive. In fact, yesterday was my 27th birthday. I celebrated by waking up early for absolutely no reason and then covering meaningless NFL games for Rotoworld. Life in the fast lane, no doubt. Oh, and here's a fun fact: I was 19 years old when this blog launched in August of 2002. I'm not sure whether doing this for eight years is more commendable or mockable, but either way it's been a lot of fun and I'll get back to pumping out new stuff once the Twins do something notable or we put the magazine to bed, whichever comes first. In the meantime, here's a picture of two of my birthday gifts that perfectly sums up how people think of me when shopping: ![]() Not sure why I picked a light switch for the background, but surely there's some artistic explanation that scholars will debate when studying my photography centuries from now. Once you're done here, check out my NBCSports.com blog and Twitter updates.
