\"\"A rainy morning in Tucson, Arizona, rarer than a pro-union guest on a Sunday morning talk show.<\/p>\n

This morning’s schedule included a group motorcycle ride to Arivaca and Tubac, but no one wants to be wet and cold so the ride’s been slipped to next Sunday.<\/p>\n

This evening’s schedule is, what else, the Oscars.\u00a0 It’s a family TV ritual, like the Super Bowl.\u00a0 C’mon, you can’t not watch.\u00a0 Of the nominees, we’ve seen Winter’s Bone<\/em>, Inception<\/em>, The Kids Are All Right<\/em>, and The Social Network<\/em>.\u00a0 Everyone says The King’s Speech<\/em> is the one to beat for best picture, but my vote goes to Winter’s Bone<\/em>.\u00a0 I mean, like, my god, Missouri.\u00a0 Best actress is a tossup for me: Annette Benning in The Kids Are All Right<\/em> and Jennifer Lawrence in Winter’s Bone<\/em>.\u00a0 Best actor?\u00a0 I haven’t seen any standouts so far, so: no opinion.<\/p>\n

By the way, though I review all the movies I watch, there’s a backlog and not all of them have yet been posted here.\u00a0 My review of Inception<\/em> is up, though, and you can read it here<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ll post the other reviews soon.<\/p>\n

Oops, forgot this afternoon’s schedule.\u00a0 I’m making a pot of Donna’s secret Italian family meat sauce<\/a>, and at some point we’re borrowing a friend’s truck to take 6 folding trestle tables and 24 folding chairs back to the guy who loaned them to us (we needed them for a friend’s house party last week).\u00a0 Hmm … maybe I should have delayed my Sunday shower until after all the chair & table schlepping.\u00a0 Oh, well, I can always take another one.<\/p>\n

Did I mention the rain?\u00a0 Apparently it snowed in parts of Tucson, and a friend sends proof.\u00a0 Now this is rarer even than a royal wedding news segment that doesn’t mention Fergie or show a clip of Princess Di.<\/p>\n
