The beauty part of my week (not that you asked) was a visit to the Warehouse District north of downtown Minneapolis where…a new ballpark has arisen where, on April 12, though we are still knee-deep in snow, the Minnesota Twins will open the 2010 campaign, against the mighty Red Sox and their nation…

this ballpark is an enormous pleasure, and so I headed south to my favorite medical clinic to make sure I'd live until Opening Day…I listened to the Beatles' "White Album" on the way down to Rochester, past miles of small farms where people live by stern realities that don't forgive mistakes easily, listening to playful music...
