Grey chilly morning. The rain just started. That dashes my idea of a morning walk.

The Bakers had us over to watch the Oscars. One of the advantages of living in California is that events like the Oscars and the Super Bowl are over by 8:30 pm.  The red carpet and ceremonies were secondary to being with fun people. The food was amazing as usual. Gregory brought Asian pork. Bake made meatballs and Iranian potatoes. Sally brought something that looked like large pea pods that were dipped in aoili sauce. Loretta made the most decadent chocolate cake and Monica and Raoul brought ice cream.

Most of us hadn't seen many of the movies. I've only seen "Mary Poppins." We also didn't know who many of the people were, a sign of getting old for sure. But it is fun to watch the glamour and the gowns.
