The Weather: The weather Saturday was beautiful. I should have grilled the enormous London broil upon which I applied a wonderful dry rub! As it happened, however, we watched several episodes of "Boston Legal" on DVD from Netflix, lounged, had a backgammon tournament (ending in a tie!), snacked on specialty cheeses, salami, Triscuits, and sliced Jalapeños. We snacked a bit too fiercely and did not find ourselves harboring sufficient hunger to warrant grilling. Since the weatherpeople had been incorrect when forecasting Saturday's weather, I offered that their forecast for Sunday would be incorrect, as well. It was not! Sunday's weather featured non-stop rain and incredible winds. There was not the remotest possibility of grilling on Sunday. I made potatoes O'Brien, New York style breakfast sausages, and fried eggs for brunch, following the service at Harvest Christian Center. The London Broil will bide its time in the refrigerator and will get tossed onto the grill Tuesday. The weather today is still most foul, but forecasts show sunshine and dryness returning tomorrow.
The Academy Awards: Laura said that she wished to watch the Academy Awards last evening. I graciously allowed her to do so. I perched in my recliner and putted the comforter over my head. I napped through the majority of the program.
