We did a little steak and corn-on-the-cob grilling on Saturday, and then played a few games of cards. No, Cooper, not THOSE cards. ;-)
On Sunday, Ms. Fiance and I were on worship team at church, and we sang a duet during offering. It went really well. We had some issues getting to that point, however. The first plan was to sing along to an instrument-only CD track, but the range was too high in a couple spots, and if I dropped down an octive, it was too low in a couple spots. Basically, the worst possible range for me. The other option was to have someone play the piano (actually keyboard), but then Ms. Fiance had some trouble with the harmony since it was in a different key. In the end we slowly worked out the harmony and sang with the keyboard, guitar, and drums from the worship band backing us up. It was really cool that both of our sets of parents were there for our duet debut.
After church, we headed down to the Metrodome to see the Twins play. Wow, what a game! This was the Johan Santana performance you may have heard about, where he struck out 17 people in 8 innings. Think about that. He had to get 24 outs, and 17 were strikeouts. Crazy! And only Sammy Sosa caused it to not be a no-hitter, as he had both hits that the Twins allowed.
And you thought all it did was rain this weekend!

Yes, it is still expensive, but it's an iPhone! Why aren't you running yet? Oh...yeah...it's on the internet... Why aren't you clicking yet?

That would have been a nifty game to be at.
There are Other cards? How did this happen?
A nifty game? I would have gone crazy at that game! Crazy from boredom. It's cool that Santanna got the great pitching promotion, but when there's no fielding and scoring the games get really boring to watch...
No, it actually was a really fun game to watch. The crowd (including myself) was really into it, so there was a lot of cheering for each strike-out. And there were only a couple strike-outs from called strikes. The vast majority were people swinging at his change-up and just completely whiffing. It actually was a lot of fun to watch him dominate.
At the same time, with just one run scored by the Twins, we were on the edge of our seats the entire game, because one wrong pitch could cause us to lose the game, even with Santana pitching the way he was.
