Mental Telepathy

I have been home by myself for about two weeks while Cindy has been doing her thing in Russia. I like watching professional sports and there have been some very interesting games during this time. The Twins are involved in a bid for the Central division championship that looks like it may fall just a bit short (they did win today). The Vikings are off to a great start. The end of the game on Sunday was just short of miraculous and if the pass thrown by Favre (in case you missed it) would have ended a playoff game would have rivaled the Montana to Rice throw that is is still shown to this day.

So, within a day of this event, Cindy tells this story of being in factory in Russia that creates maturska dolls (those wooden dolls that are nested within each other). She sees one in the display of past works that catches her attention and she asks if she can purchase it. The doll was specially ordered in 2002 and she is told it is not for sale. When she is leaving, someone brings her the doll and she buys it for $18.

Wrong colors, but for the time being the right quarterback. It does bother me that it resembles what I remember as a tackling dummy.
