SUBHEAD: Late Because I Lost My Neighbor’s Extremely Weak WiFi Signal So I Came In Early For Work But Late For Posting Leading Off Edition.
1. An immigration protest march is planned for Saturday at 1 p.m. The march, under the heading “We Are All Arizona,” starts at the usual spot — Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe on Ross Avenue — and 100,000 are expected to participate. As always, I hope that you choose to come downtown on the weekends, but you should probably stay at home this weekend. Or go to Lower Greenville. I don’t think they care about anything over there.
2. Terri Hodge will find out if she gets prison or probation today. I’m interested to see if a third option emerges. Like, she has to sign up for one dangerous mission in service of the U.S. government in exchange for her freedom. Or maybe there is a nuclear threat somewhere in the city, and she has to be freed because the terrorist is her former partner and she is the only one who can bring him down. I don’t know. Just throwing that out there.
3. Shawn Marion believes the Dallas Mavericks can escape their 3-1 series deficit, starting tonight against the hated San Antonio Spurs. I do, too. And if not, I’ll see you guys in a week or so. Maybe longer.

Are they actually calling the protest march WAAA? Because I think that’s appropriate. It also will be appropriate for what Mavs fans will be doing soon given the play to date and Carlisle’s inexplicable refusal to play Roddy (and Stevenson). And what Hodge will be doing after she’s sentenced because there is no way that Judge Lynn, after dropping the hammer on Hill and wife, is going to let Hodge off with probation.
“As always, I hope that you choose to come downtown on the weekends, but you should probably stay at home this weekend.”
Why?
@Blake: I tend to stay away from places with 100,000 people and the cars and so on needed to get them there, because that sort of traffic situation makes me tense. But that’s just me. Like I said, come downtown on weekends. Even this one if you want.
@Zac: I live downtown.
Why do you assume that none of your readers would want to come downtown to participate in the event? And, how many workers work downtown during a normal workday (and BTW won’t be there during the weekend)?
Maybe Mike Bacsik can be their keynote speaker.
This mean that the corner of Royal and Josey will be empty of people this weekend?
Oh I hope not.
