As we are nearing the end of the month, our monthly supper group met last evening at Gallup writer and historian Martin Link's home. On the menu was bouillabaisse, "a traditional Provençal fish stew originating in the port city of Marseille. The French and English form bouillabaisse comes from the Provençal Occitan word bolhabaissa, a compound that consists of the two verbs bolhir and abaissar." (source: Wikipedia)

It was an enjoyable evening with good food and conversation, much of it was about classic movies thanks to members Sandy and Bob. The night's Academy Awards was hardly mentioned as nobody even saw or heard (or really cared) of the top nominated films.
I usually carpool there with Greg and Marlo Lucier, but they were unable to attend and Russell Azbill had some health issues, so this was the first time in about three years that I drove myself. It was just as well as I had to stop at Albertson's to pick up some groceries. I got done fairly quick and was a little early at Martin Link's. I also had to get some gasoline and the price for it in Gallup was $3.978/gallon, seventeen cents cheaper than at the Flying J.

As the day's temperature went over 70°, I spent much of the day on my deck relaxing and enjoying the view. We may get rain and snow showers tonight and tomorrow.
