Porch Party

One of the couples at my porch party last night was a Match.com date. He asked me if I am on Match and I said no. Then she told me, I am on Match because the photo she uploaded was one with me in it and she said, “it’s a real bad picture of you, but it’s such a good picture of me.” What goes on? Anyway the date turned out to be a nice…

I may be in the gutter, but I’m looking at the stars

Great quote by Oscar Wilde – last night I took a break to run back to the LaLa and show someone the house. We sat on the terrace and looked up at the stars and a butterfly flew by and it made us both gasp to see this beautiful creature out at night.

I danced with this guy that made dancing seem like…

We came across a woman I know who lives on the other side of the bayou – she was wearing a shirt with Canseco’s written on it – the new grocery store – I said “what are you doing?” – she said “headed to work.” I said “you work at Canseco’s” – and…

Whoa Saints

Sigh – Starting a Wit’s Inn, which was so LOUD and so smoky, we watched the kick off to grand applause and gesture. Next, Bacchanal, where three employees sat around a borrowed television (we left promptly), to Vaughn’s, where we walked into a packed house of people with eyes peeled on us (not really, the television was right where the door is), we made our grand entrance, got to the bar, and ordered drinks and…
