On Trailblazing Corsica, Sausages With a Pedigree (alas, not referring to the previous headline)

I kind of wanted to play both, but Cathy REALLY wanted to play Puerto Rico so I figured I'd rather have her enthusiastic self playing than my torn self.

The evening beyond that is open: but whatever will I do during the day now that the shower is finished, the dogs are cleaned, and I've called my sister?
(Obviously I'll stay online all day, reading about kayaking or those crazy Love Hotel Bloggers in Japan.)
