An LA Day

It has been sweltering hot for the past 4-5 days, so, of course, we took up the offer of free tickets to the Dodger game this afternoon when Rick and Mary Beth couldn't make it.  Fortunately, their seats are in the shade, so it wasn't unbearable.  The Dodgers put up a good effort against the Rockies, but couldn't make the sweep - losing 7-6 today.  With attendance so low these days, getting parking (an outrageous $15) was easy, and getting out of the parking lot after the game was even easier.

We wanted to go to Philippe's for french dip sandwiches after the game, but it was too early for our stomachs.  (We had lunch around 1:00, and we got to Philippe's by 5.)  So we settled for boysenberry pie à la mode for dinner which was perfect for the hot afternoon.  By the time we got home the house was 88 degrees inside.
