Nine a.m. mass @ Saint Mark in Venice with recognition of the RCIA candidates. Then on to breakfast.
At Maxwell's which was not as crowded as on a normal Sunday. Probably due to the time change...Spring forward and lose an hour!
Then parked near The Counter and walked Fiji Way to Fisherman's Village for research on boat and bike rentals. Lots of sealife..harbor seals, egrets, pelicans, herons. We lucked out by being there for an outdoor performance by a jazz quartet: Two as One ---the Body and Soul Band. Excellent [XLNT!]
Then home for a late nap.
Casey and John are home. We met them @ LAX and gave them a ride home. Casey was very pleased to be home after her month away.

Eight points three times for the old guy
Venice Beach was our destination yesterday for a walk along the beach, great sand, and along the boardwalk.
Three times we were accosted by teams of two young men who were partcipating in a scavanger hunt. They were awarded eight points (out of 100) for having their picture taken with someone over seventy-five [how did they know?] They had to check my ID!!!
This afternoon Casey and John return home from Portland, ME. Yeah.

Santa Anita Park
Yesterday was Friday and Fridays are free days @ Santa Anita. Being frugal, we went. It's an hour away at our pace...thanks to Janzey, the navigator supreme, and Verizon Navigator we got there without a hitch.
Our horses didn't do as well. One that Janzey bet on led the pack all the way around until the last stride. She had bet to WIN. All three of my bets finished fourth. Fridays are free days!!!

Down the coast to Redondo Beach
Yesterday, a beautiful day, we drove down to Rodono Beach for a "walk around", mostly on the beach with an audible surf. Lunch at the Catalina Coffee Company, a cafe which we would recommend. Returned through Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach and then along the coast on Vista del Mar with a stop just west of LAX, actually at the end of the ruways!
John starts his fiftieth year!
To celebrate John's 49th birthday we had a feast @ Cafe del Rey, which is down the street from our condo and overlooks the marina. Then on to Royce Hall for a UCLALive evening with Los Farruco, the Seville-based flamenco family. It was an extraordinary two-hour, intermissionless performance that "all but shredded the stage"(LATimes).
A good time was had by all. Here's wishing John at least another forty-nine!

Marina del Rey
John met us on Sunday and introduced us to The Counter for dinner.
Our condo is great! It overlooks the marina and a peak @ the ocean is available from our balcony.
Monday dinner @ John's. His audio-visual set up is awesome.
Yesterday we went for a walk around the marina (an hour) and had a swim in the "adult" pool.
This evening we are going to celebrate John's birthday, dinner and a UCLALive event. He departs for Portland for the opening on Thursday at the crack.
