Deskbuddy\u2122 1.0 (where does the USB cable plug in?)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Polly went on a date earlier in the week, and last night the young man (her age, twice divorced, with children … but hey, young to us) dropped by to visit Polly and her friend.\u00a0 Yes, Polly’s BFF Claire-Marie is here from Phoenix too, with her chihuahua Dupr\u00e9.\u00a0 So it was quite a crowd last night … five adults and (Jesus) five critters.\u00a0 Taco salad for all, and a DVD.<\/p>\n

Said DVD was Blitz<\/a> with Jason Stratham.\u00a0 I don’t normally write one-line movie reviews, but I made an exception for that one: “Absolute rubbish.”\u00a0 There, if I’ve talked you out of renting that splatterporn piece of shit I’ve done my good deed for the day.<\/p>\n

Later in the evening I mapped out a new (to us) bicycle route for this morning’s Trail Trash<\/a> ride.\u00a0 We got up early, loaded the bikes, and met our friends at Maynard’s downtown, the place I shared a photo of the other day<\/a>.\u00a0 We rode through the Tucson Presidio and downtown, under the I-10 freeway, and then up and back along with Santa Cruz bike trail.\u00a0 Only 14 miles, but I got the group to commit (I think) to doing the Maynards’\/Santa Cruz\/Rillito\/Mountain\/University\/Maynard’s loop soon, a 22-miler.\u00a0 We are, after all, more than halfway there.<\/p>\n

After the ride we had breakfast across the street at the Hotel Congress, and then drove home.\u00a0 I got on the motorcycle to run some errands this afternoon, and when I got home Polly and Claire-Marie had gone to the hash<\/a>, so things are quiet again.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure Deskbuddy\u2122 1.0 likes it that way … I know I do.<\/p>\n

I’m on deck to cook tonight, once Polly and Claire-Marie come home from the hash.\u00a0 I’m grilling polenta, Italian sausage, and peppers<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s suddenly cool enough to light a few logs in the firepit … with any luck it’ll be a nice evening, and tonight’s movie, Dogville<\/a>, just has to be better than last night’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
