Easy Like Sunday Morning
Sunday morning called for an earlier than usual wake-up to deal with packing all of my things, which were scattered all around the apartment. It never takes me as long as expected to pack up things when LEAVING a destination, which is a good thing. I took a few pictures of the apartment for reference, … Continue reading
Where in the HooDoo is the VooDoo?
Saturday was the day that I planned to get out the DSLR and take some big girl pictures. What’s the point of lugging the damned thing across the country if you’re not going to put it to use? Of course, once I was dressed and ready, DSLR strapped around my neck, I heard, to my … Continue reading

One year we had a company event, consisting of … Continue reading

With the start of the new year and the knowledge that I have an additional THREE more days of … Continue reading
And Now For Musical Monday
Friday night I went to see Kermit Ruffins at Brick and Mortar. He’s a trumpet player from New Orleans, who’s hot at the moment because he’s a regular on the HBO series “Treme.” I had a ticket to see him in New Orleans at One Eyed Jacks, but missed his performance (long story, which I … Continue reading
