Be still my beating heart
Just got a message that the J-man loves his Ocho and asks about me. Little boys – oh thank heaven for little boys.

It was a dark, stormy, lightning afternoon
The cousins have been safely carted back to Miami care of American Airlines – AA called from Atlanta to catch up and said she’s joined a Loser Lesbian club and surprisingly enough there are a lot of losers out there so she has been meeting a lot of new people. She was calling from one new friend’s house. Meanwhile, my niece called and I called her back as she was driving back to college –…

It’s all been said before
A new friend called me this evening to ask if I could go for a shopping-lunch excursion on Monday – and I said no way, jammed so tight with work then travel next week – I won’t barely have time to eat lunch. She said it was kind of weird reading about herself on my blog and that it could get pretty dicey living in a small town and writing about your friends (and not).…

Consider yourself an ambassador of the city
I took my cousin and her husband on the Misery Tour and then K found out that the Monteleone was unable to fix CBS on the television set and so it was decided that he would watch the Florida/Tennessee game here at my house – now this was supposedly my night off – my night to stay in, refresh, relax, lounge for the Lord, whatever – but instead there was football going on all night…

What if you had one opportunity
After Pilates, I went to get Jake and take him to the park – Danneel Playground – the same park my mother took me to when I was his age – it’s on Octavia and St. Charles Avenue. The trees were thinned by the storm and so there is even less shade there now. A father came with his kids and when J was flying after one of the little boys on the firetruck jungle…

Life is a sharing proposition
I was speaking to an old source of mine in the newspaper business who I talk to about print advertising and he has taken on a new venture in his life after leaving a major metropolitan paper earlier in the year. Because his new venture is covered by my company, I put him in touch with the reporter who has been leading the research on WIMAX since it began – they spoke for two and…

When 40 was young
My cousin E is in town with her husband K for his 40th birthday. I picked them up at the Monteleone and brought them to Midcity where we bummed around. I showed them the LaLa and they were duly impressed. We hung out at the Can and did some twist and caught up – giggling and reminiscing. We went back to the Quarter – Napoleon House for a Pimm’s Cup then walked to the Pelican…

Braun and Brains
I know women attracted to braun and those attracted to brains, but I prefer both. A wise woman said, if he has a brain, he better be using it to pay attention to his body. If I am offering both, you damn well better believe I’d like both myself.

I miss my life
Sally, one of my weight instructors, was back from Little Rock for a day, so she came in to teach a class. OMG – her body rocks, she’s sporting a well honed six-pack and a butt that resembles carved stone AND she shakes that butt like a porn star sort of like something out of a Girls Gone Wild video except with the excitement and energy of Fred LeBlanc. “Are you shaking it, Rachel?” she…
