Started to get cold again at night but the days remain semi-cool.  We are now officially in Spring-time so it should start to really warm up ... but our weather hasn't been normal in years.  Where are the showers?  We need the rain and hopefully will see "April Showers" soon.  But I guess that is what you get for living in this type of area ... desert.  Though one can not complain too much with the weather being in a consistent range between 75 to 85 during the day and the nights just 10 degrees lower than that ... usually!  We do have the exceptions like any region but not very often.

 Weekly Update:
Pretty busy week with various events and I think I caught a cold.  The week started off pretty quiet but then on Thursday, I attended the annual Variety Day at the Races at the Santa Anita Racetrack.  I didn't do any betting but took pictures for the event.  The weather was perfect and good times had by all.  Friday I went to the Fox lot for a lunch with friends and caught up with others.  That same night I attended the Lakers versus Wizards game and going into the half, they (Lakers) were up by almost 20 points!  As the last few seconds of the game came down, they were behind by a 3 pointer and didn't make it.  They should have won that one!!  But the evening was about the company of friends and spending the whole game in one of the suites which was a great time.  Now, I am just recovering and trying to shake this cold that has latched onto me.  I think the cold part is pretty much gone now but I can feel a cough coming ... great.

 At the movies:
Family fun brings in the crown this weekend as the new DreamWorks/Fox film The Croods earns a hefty 44.7 million for its debut.  Good timing with Spring Breaks starting and a void of family films.  Not to be out done, the "what if" action film takes 2nd place as Olympus Has Fallen earns 30.5 mil.  Holding ground at #3 is "Oz: The Great and Powerful" with an extra 22 mil which makes it that much closer to reaching 200 mil cume.  Slight drop to #4 is "The Call" with an extra 8.7 mil.  Rounding off the top 5 is the comedy Admission with 6.5 mil in its debut.
