Went to the Timberwolves game....

....Wednesday evening at Target Center. And I see that they listed the official attendance at 12,443. Huh. The must have been counting everyone's arms as well.

With game time beginning at 7:00, the four of us arrived at about 6:30 to literally less than a thousand fans in the arena. "Maybe the others forgot to set their clocks ahead an hour", I thought. But once game time arrived maybe a few thousand more people showed up.

Oh, and I also found out it was "dollar dog night" which meant all hot dogs were a dollar while supplies lasted. So I'm thinking they're good for Friday night's game against the Knicks.

Anyhow, the Wolves ended up beating the pathetic Memphis Grizzlies by 25 points. Going into the game the Grizzlies and Wolves were ranked, respectively, 25th and 26th out of thirty teams in the NBA power rankings. The Grizz had lost 10 of their last 11 games while the Wolves had lost 11 consecutive home games and 10 consecutive overall.

The fact I was able to enjoy myself solidifies my standing in Minnesota sports Rube Nation!!

Yeah, and that voicemail that you left me sounded pretty exciting too! Did I mention that it rang in the middle of church? :) In fairness, I should have had it turned off.

Hey bro, again I offer my sincerest apologies. I have a keypad lock on my phone which I obviously forgot to set.

They Night Hens encouraged me to make fun of you for that. I was only following orders.
