I got in just in time for the sky to open up and let loose. We know how to do rain here in New Orleans. But speaking of the surreal – L, man of mystery stopped by the LaLa when he saw Blue parked out front yesterday, but Joe was the one driving it as he was hauling a bunch of stuff to the dump for me. When I walked over there later in the…
The two guys who helped me move this morning – Barry and Tom – both got their breakfast at the Budget truck rental counter – ice cream sandwich and orange pop. I said I have an energy bar in my truck that might make you feel better. Oh no, they said, this is good. Later in the truck, sitting on a milk crate between Barry and Tom – Barry was driving and said he had…

It is supposed to be pouring down rain this evening and a cold front coming in but last night it started drizzling and now there is this curtain of humidity that hangs over everything even creating a mist on the bayou. Today the movers come to move the cabinets from the Can to the LaLa – space opens here, progress happens there. Half the deck is in place on the terrace. The front yard is…

The decking is going down on the terrace – K went by Twickler’s and made metal strips that were raised slightly so there will be nothing but drainage – fingers crossed. If this terrace leaks – god help us all. Peter is doing all the white trim in the living area having finished the master bedroom. Giovanni is up on a ladder puttying the screen porch and painting the ceiling dry sage. Michael is in…
L, man of mystery, slipped yet another package of goodies through the mail slot at the LaLa, making his mail, the first to go inside – he compiled a CD – my favorite song, the lyrics that made me laugh out loud on the way to Pilates, was care of the Violent Femmes: I hope you got fat cause if you got really fat you just might want to see me come back I don’t…
Tonight’s Parkview meeting was chock a block full of information – here are the highlights: There is a Crime Summit that is paying attention to what is going on in New Orleans and up until now we’ve heard little from them, but come January, we should start hearing a lot. All of the gas lines under New Orleans need to be replaced. There is and will be spontaneous situations where water appears in the gas…
Lance, the man of mystery Is a study of contrasts Light vies with darkness Les endures the game Leaves fall heavy on his crown Tomorrow rain comes Arlene is the Bean Eye blue like David Bowie Heart large like a queen Ham breathes dragon flies Toads might well do in a pinch Latin rolls from his tongue T is a princess Her eyes glitter with delight Festivals R Her Laurie loves her twist Every which…
