Father's Day was low-key, but nice. We hoped to go to a movie, but apparently everyone else had the same idea and the theater was out of seats. :( Frozen yogurt instead, and Chinese takeout later for dinner, so it was still good.
Biking: One whole side of my right glove started to separate a few weeks ago, and split last week. I've sewed it, but also ordered two pairs of new Bellwether gloves. I don't understand why it's so hard to find what I need in a glove: padding all down the inside of the thumb, and all across the bottom of the palm. Those are the nerve pressure-points that road-biking handlebars stress. So WHY do so many manufacturers hardly pad, or pad for weightlifting and not cycling, or just pad one of the two necessary places? Only Bellwether consistently has a clue, and I have to special-order them. Hope the pads on these new ones are as thick as they look.
Re: Hugo from a few weeks back, didn't critics pan the visuals on it? I know much of it is dark, but I really like how the steam from trains, or clouds and moon, work in that pallette. And the early silent movie snippets? The schemes in those were outrageously creative. I was somewhat distracted, though, by how much the little boy actor in the movie looks like Maggie Gyllenhaal. As in, practically a mini-Me.
