We had a good time at the Depot, and Joel is the nicest drill sergeant I&#8217;ve ever met!<\/p>\n<p>We accompanied them to their first game at Target Field, too, and I feel kind of bad about how the game turned out. We weren&#8217;t sitting together, but I assume they shared the same general sense of suffering we all did. For a game that went back-and-forth scorewise (and error-wise), it was some kind of torture. We left halfway through the 8th, and were home in time to see the Twins get the fans&#8217; hopes up yet again, and then lose. YUCK.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of this week has been gloriously quiet. We stayed home a few nights and did things like cook and garden and knit (me) and read man-magazines (Matt). My biggest accomplishment is finishing the body of my cardigan, which includes this lace:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"knittin\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4134\/4795810671_f0c440056f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;m working on the arms now, and it&#8217;s going really quickly. It&#8217;s possible I&#8217;ll decide it&#8217;s not long enough, but I&#8217;ll finish the rest and then see what I think. It&#8217;s fairly easy to undo the bind-off and add a couple more inches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tonight we&#8217;re going to go bet on some ponies and play some cards, and tomorrow is Kristin and Andy&#8217;s wedding. I CAN&#8217;T WAIT!! I will hopefully have a million photos to share on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before the Twins game last night, Matt and I had dinner with his best friend from high school, who he hadn&#8217;t seen in seven years.
