Date night...

Well, date afternoon. That's what happens when you get older. ;-) After lunch out, we took in a movie: The Descendents. George Clooney did a fine job in it. It's the first movie we've been to in months, and was a bit "heavier" than I expected. Now that we're settling back in from our trip to the Seattle area, we're trying to get back to a more leisurely schedule.

We drove to a theater in the Surprise area... Joan got "a deal" with Groupon. If I understand correctly, you check that site for your local area and find deals on food, movies, haircuts, car washes, etc. No idea what the cost of the Groupon was, but the theater has different prices depending on the time of day, your age, the color of your eyes, and your shoe size.

Good thing we have GPS built into our phones - the theater sat back off the road enough that we drove by it... twice. Still made it to our seats before the lights went down. Barely. No big deal, since it wasn't crowded.

When we came out of the movie, I had to laugh...

I've mentioned the fact that the Malibu we have is the quintessential nondescript grandma type car - it blends in wherever we park it. Maybe it just needs a set of false eyelashes? ;-)

On the way back to the park we're staying in, we drove through Pueblo El Mirage (an RV park and golf resort a half hour north of us). If "the economy" is the reason the park we're in is way less occupied than the past couple years, Pueblo El Mirage isn't aware of the state of the economy - they were full. Friendly management does make a difference.

Nice day here in the desert - lots of sunshine, very little wind, temp near 70º. I'm enjoying the sunshine.
