Moving! Olaf returns home.

[29dad]

Getting transferred back to the Twin Cities, 4 hours from our current home here in South Dakota. It's bittersweet. We want to move back "home," but it will be tough to leave our friends and life here in SoDak. I trust Minnesota has no state taxes just like SD, right? Okay, maybe not. If anyone knows of a good travel club in Minnesota, let me... oh wait. DD is already on a MN travel team. Disregard.

Some of those MN travel teams are a bit scary. I remember DD #3 pitched against a MN TB team last summer. As one of the other parents put it, a lot of the 12U girls on the MN travel team looked big enough to drive themselves to the game.

I once saw this written on a chalk board at the St. Paul zoo:

"Venn lutefisk is outlawed, yust outlaws vill haf lutefisk"

Our summer travel season is also known as July 2nd. Prior to July 2nd it's still spring, and then of course fall starts on July 3rd.

Nobody plays TB in MN - they travel south for the summer.

Welcome back. Interestingly enough, we're considering making the opposite move. Tough decision since the kids are pretty well rooted in the permafrost here.

Only a handful of people know that we're moving but the high school lobbying/recruiting has kicked into high gear. How did the last conversation go? If I sign a lease by March 10, DD can get added to the high school roster, even if we don't actually live there or pay rent until mid May, and that way DD can play in sectionals and the state tournament.... Holy cow - we're going to have our own Jackie Robinson West story! This is hilarious. She's pretty good but she's not THAT good!!
