Breakfast this morning was scrambled egg beaters (to say on the fat), turkey sausage links (to save on the fat), and bacon because it was in the fridge. Great bagels (like on the butter for mine, heavy for the boys, and what a lovely late breakfast it is. Somehow we forgot to provision Champagne and [...]

Stayed up too late watching cable television — now you know why I don’t have it at home (other than I’m cheap). Rolled out of bed around 9am, made some coffee, and went to sit on the porch and read yesterday’s paper. It’s a beautiful sunny day today. Here is your little video tour of [...]

Finish the packing and trip prep. Load the car. Drive to the east-side for 11am meeting. Watch meeting run long. Stop at Safeway and have idiots hold up the long gas lines. Deposit paycheck at bank, take out $60 because you are out of cash because of the New Orleans trip. Shoot across 520 and [...]

Well, Commander’s Palace was too good for us, or shall I say, the girls were not allowed in wearing shorts. No link for them this time! So — we ended up on Magazine street looking for Thrift Store skirts and finally bailed and had lunch elsewhere — in the back of a restaurant that the [...]

Wendy had a 9:30 appointment, so I slept in — or until Wendy’s call at 8am to “check-in”. It wasn’t much to pee and go back to bed for a bit of a sleep in. Appointments were done by 11:30 and a lunch of leftovers was served in 1116. The decision was made to see [...]

I really do like the WorldMark New Orleans at the Avenue Plaza. It helps that it’s right on the St. Charles Avenue street car line. This morning started with breakfast in my room — eggs and English muffins. Sorry, no champagne and orange juice. The girls went off to the quarter while I worked on [...]

Greetings from the Big Easy — and this is going to be an easy trip. Wendy is still recovering from round two of surgery and it’s causing more pain than round one. I’m thinking that there are going to be lots of dinners in the room this trip — good thing I got the one [...]

My day… Five Thank-You Notes Two Postcards Twenty-Two DVDs Duplicated Thirteen DVD Covers Printed and Stuffed Three SD Cards Cleaned Up What a day. And now it’s time to prep stuff for a dinner with Swanda who is coming over to watch the debates. I guess that puts off the Events and Adventuresnew Alerts testing [...]

Well, I finally uploaded the last of the Birthday Cruise pictures. Here is my favorite: It seems that the bath bomb from Lush gets really excited in a jetted tub — and I pulled it out after 60 seconds! Maybe I’ll get some pictures from the home tub with the left-overs. So here is the [...]
