David's Visit (Addendum)

So J pretty much said it all in her post.  From my perspective, it was certainly hot.  But it's a dry heat, so...  More what was at issue for me was J's insistence on being frugal at weird times.  Examples:

1. She would insist on unplugging the air conditioner during the hottest part of the day.  Then we would come home to a sauna and sweat ourselves to sleep on her couch.
2. The car key.  This is how I roll: had I been buying her car, I would have demanded a second key as part of the deal.  At the very least, I would have had a key made immediately -- not because I would lose the key, but because I would worry I would lose the key.
3. The muddler.  EVERYONE knows you NEED a muddler to make a proper mojito.  J thinks a muddler completely unnecessary.  For that, I feel sorry for her.

I do have some bits to add.  The mojito I was holding in the photo looked like this when it was first made.

OK, not FIRST made as you can tell I drank a bit of it.  But doesn't it look refreshing?!

This was the most interesting part of our trip to Lowry because it made me think of my dog:

This was a damn good bowl of noodles.  And it makes me remember a very interesting part of the weekend.  Two different times I told J that something she was eating would cause an explosion in the bathroom.  Guess how many times I was right!?  That's right!  TWO!  The first is this fancy noodle dish. The second was her Thai Iced Tea at Thai Basil.  The most interesting part is that J rarely poops.  We're talking twice a month.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the picture that saved us from having to ride the bus a second time.  Thank you, Kelly, for driving us everywhere this weekend.  J owes you one.  I don't because I was only a guest.

Lastly, J is being modest.  She didn't drop me off at the LIGHTRAIL on my last day.  She drove me all the way downtown!  Sure, it was mostly to get to work later than she would have otherwise, but still!
