Another one in the books. \u00a0Not a whole lot to report on either, save a rather nice bike ride on Sunday. \u00a0But just for the sake of consistency I’ll at least briefly recount the other two days. \u00a0Friday, well, you know the drill. \u00a0Went to the ‘Sider and hung out with the boys. \u00a0We did throw in a bit of a twist though. \u00a0Around seven o’clock or so, Donette came down dressed up \u00a0all\u00a0fancy-like and said she wanted to go out to dinner. \u00a0A little notice might have been nice on these plans, as I was wearing some random tee-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. \u00a0That usually bothers her more than myself though, so we wrapped things up on the patio and walked down the street to Domo Sushi<\/a>. \u00a0I don’t recall how we came to an agreement on this place, as we’d been there once before and were definitely somewhat less than impressed. \u00a0It had been at least a year since our last visit, and all I could remember was thinking “over-priced and mediocre.” \u00a0This time I left feeling like I’d found my new favorite restaurant; \u00a0Matter of fact I’m quite excited to get back there soon. \u00a0We had four rolls; \u00a0Avocado, spicy tuna, cucumber and alligator. \u00a0They were all very good, and there was so much we could barely finish it all. \u00a0The price was more than reasonable too, I would even say inexpensive. \u00a0All I can think is we must have ordered wrong last time we were there. \u00a0At any rate we’ll be back for another try in the near future.<\/p>\n

Saturday was sort of an off day. \u00a0I was getting ready for a bike ride on Sunday so I wanted to rest up. \u00a0Spent most of the day watching the\u00a0Olympics, and we did get out for a few hours of shopping. \u00a0Took the bicycle in for a last-minute tuneup, went and picked up my packet for the ride, blah blah.<\/p>\n

Sunday I rode in the “Sunflowers to Roses<\/a>” \u00a0bike ride with Munkirs and my friend Don. \u00a0This was the first time participating in this one for all three of us, and I’d say it received mixed reviews. \u00a0As far as support I’d give it an A+. \u00a0They gave you some cool freebies before the ride, had plenty of rest-stops along the route, and a nice BBQ after the ride. \u00a0The negatives I’d say all fall in the “what can you do” category. \u00a0It was a very hilly route, which gets old after a while. \u00a0And, while it was mercifully cooler than it has been, it still got a little toasty and quite windy too. \u00a0All-in-all I had a good time though. \u00a0We all three rode the 57 mile route option and didn’t have much trouble with that distance. \u00a0(Mind you, I’m typing this standing up, but that’s just part of the fun of cycling I guess.) \u00a0After that I felt like I’d earned a calorie splurge, so I picked up Donette and we headed up to 75th Street for lunch. \u00a0I opted for the Kobe Beef Burger with blue cheese and a side of fries, always delish. \u00a0The rest of the day was spent on the couch recovering, both from the burger and the bike ride. \u00a0Watched the Royals game and a few horrid movies. \u00a0The first selection was “Eye of the Tiger<\/a>.” \u00a0I’ve never been much of a Gary Busey fan, and now I remember why. \u00a0Boy did that soundtrack rock though. \u00a0After that I watched “Tank<\/a>,” which about made me want to discontinue my Netflix account. \u00a0Rather inexplicably, before I watched it I actually saw that it starred James Garner and Shirley Jones, yet I STILL elected to play it. \u00a0Maybe it was morbid curiosity spurred by the Partridge Family episode I’d watched earlier in the afternoon, I don’t know. \u00a0And James Garner as the hard-core, old-school\u00a0Sergeant Major? \u00a0Good grief, what a train wreck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
