where did the time go?

Man, three months since I have last posted. This lapse is almost inexcusable. Oh well. New Orleans is abuzz. There have been more murders than days this year so far. This is unacceptable and the city is up-in-arms about it. There are several marches planned today. I don't know how much good it will do, but hey, people are doing something.

I had the most pleasant Winn-Dixie shopping experience today. As I perused the Swiffer product shelf, an employee spoke on the intercom imploring shoppers to buy Saints merchandise and newly arrived Mardi Gras beads ('tis the season to be inebriated). He also led us all in a rousing round of "who 'dat?"s. It reminded me of when the Tampa Bay/Orlando Buccaneers were in the Superbowl. Excitement is in the air. The mood is going to be ridiculous if the Saints beat the Eagles this weekend. Rioting and looting will be done by all.
