Quick Thoughts 6/20

• While listening to my “Kahn’s Favorites” playlist this morning, I had a song transition that may never have been heard before in the history of the world.  After Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” the next song that started playing was “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers.  I never know what I’m going to get when listening to that playlist.
• The slumping Cubs come to Minnesota this weekend for a three game series.  I’ll be at the Friday and Saturday games, and riding on a charter bus to both games.  Friday’s probables are Prior/Santana, and Saturday’s are TBA for the Cubs, but a guy named Boof Bonser for the Twins.  I think that’s now my favorite name in pro sports.  Derek Lee is still on the DL, Michael Barrett has started serving his ten game suspension, Wood is still hurt, and Prior just isn’t himself after his first start of the year.  After a couple teasing years of decent baseball, it looks like the old lovable loser Cubs are back. 
• Steer clear of Fiesta Cancun restaurant in Clear Lake, IA.  While the food was good at the time, four of the five of us that ate there ended up with some mild food poisoning.
• The patio set that we bought about two weeks ago at Menards went on pretty major sale this week.  Fortunately, it was less than 14 days, so I was able to get a price adjustment of $140!  The only downside was that they gave me store credit instead of an actual refund.
• It’s Rochesterfest this week.  Time for the annual treasure hunt.
