When B and I finally drove into Milwaukee, I had downed a liter of green tea and I told B that if he didn’t stop the car to let me find a bathroom, there would be blood on my hands – we finally found our destination and while he was putting money in the meter, I scooted ahead, ran into the lobby, and at security while trying to get to the restroom noticed one of…
We wound up back here for a little after the street fair entertainment – and I still could not get over how sometimes you’re racing towards where you think you are going, but when you get there it just doesn’t look like what you thought it would…And Neil is singing, “I am, I said, to no one there”…So one gal is down on the couch and me, I’m on the blog, and the rest have…
Except it’s not easy – I went to Pilates and got kicked out because L forgot to put my name down as a regular on Saturdays. Then went by the LaLa to meet the tile guy because he had questions, but he didn’t show up, so I came home, and right when I walked in S, my contractor, called and said G had told him I was going to be there to meet with him…
There is a thick fog layer blanketing New Orleans creating a surreal atmosphere. There is also a thick fog inside my head as I’m fighting off something that wants to throw me down. I’m hoping for clarity inside and out very soon, but it might take the rest of the day for the air/mind to clear.
Popped into Swirl for the Friday night tasting and Sylvia was pouring the wine – Sylvia with the good hair. And the Roller Derby girls were there selling tickets rolling around on their skates – most of them are very fly. Fatima was in the house, serving pasta from her about to open restaurant La Vita next door. Her husband Bob joined her later – and he was hysterical, talking about how he has become…
Peggy had a studio sale of her pottery, so I was the first one there and bought a couple of pieces. What I wanted were pieces of her sculpture, but right now, outside of my price range, considering the LaLa still needs and needs and needs. For those who don’t know her, she has created pots and dropped them down around the streets signs along the bayou. She’s in the process of doing one for…
So the whole point of Hanukkah is a miracle happened – oil that was supposed to last for one night lasted for eight. I was lighting my menorah tonight and hoping that the money I have for the next month, will last eight months, so I have enough for the LaLa. Miracle thinking. The shutters are being fitted back on the windows, but a lot of them got hammered with the stripping and so they…
Going to pick up the Bean this morning from the pokey learned that Endymion is riding in MidCity in ’07 despite opposition from the police force and other city officials. Yee Ha!
Don’t know why when I travel I always gain better insight than when I am sitting at home – but on my little sojourn to the Midwest, I came to some inevitable truths about me – I need behavior modification because my body and mind are so used to thriving on chaos that I can’t sit still – I am desperately seeking stillness – note to self: where can I find stillness? or how do…
Touched down to a foggy veil covering New Orleans this evening – today in Milwaukee, the snow was banked up against the streets – it snowed a week ago I think, good grief! – then we were driving back into Chicago, straight into a parking lot of traffic and the air outside was muggy and cold – how is that possible? Last night walking to the Blackbird for dinner from the Hyatt, Chicago stood out…
