Carl was sitting at the table next to me at M&S Grill about a month ago. He looked fairly well for his age.

The Rolls story is pretty interesting. That explains why I saw him getting out of a Ford Explorer outside the Dome once. Apparently he wasn't into flashy cars.

No matter what you think about Pohlad and his spending habits, it is a sad day for the Twins. Looks like there will be another patch on this year's jersey.

sylbry...was that downtown or at the galleria?

Downtown. I believe Carl had an office in the Dorsey & Whitney building. I frequently saw him in the skyway over the noon hour too.

a family member works in the front office and always says how he was always so misunderstood
