The Oscars

I haven't written anything in a few days, which is unacceptable, of course. Since I last wrote, a couple of things have happened.

Sunday I went to the Universal City Hilton to volunteer for my alma mater's LA Oscar party. It looked like something worth doing, and it proved to be. The commute was easy enough both ways, which is never assured when using public transportation. I got there a minute or two after the requested 3 o'clock, which falls within the margin of error when it comes to clocks. I likely would have gotten to the hotel sooner if not for the fact that I had to hustle something like half a mile up hill. I'm in reasonably good shape and not a complainer, but I was definitely breathing a little heavy and sweating a bit when I got to the hotel.
