La Reve from Domain Carneros is a wow

I went by Swirl yesterday to see B and K and catch up since I’ve been housebound for the most part due to my feet. B chilled a bottle of La Reve and I was about to leave but decided to just stay behind and have a taste – B, the wine expert, who has labelled all the wines in the store by their taste – Fruity and Fresh, Supple and Refined, Big and Bold…

The movie we didn’t make

Last night instead of watching Casino Royale and ordering a pizza which my foot would have so preferred, G, TL and I opted to go to El Gato Negro and then see the Iguanas at the DBA. When we left the Gato, there was a parade coming down Decatur and so we walked over and were able to catch a ton of beads from kissing Irish men and G’s cleavage was outfitted with tons of…

Moving to Portland

I’ve been thinking about S a lot lately – why he didn’t call me when I had my surgery (after all had I needed that living will he would have stood to inherit over a $1 million in cash, not to mention the property etc.) and also just unpacking and finding more evidence of a life we created together. He called late in the afternoon from the Farmer’s Market where he was looking for flageolet…

For everything there is a season

The acacia trees in San Francisco used to send my allergies into a tailspin – well the pollen from the oaks that has covered everything in my office with the same yellow dust as the acacias sent out has sent my body into lethargy. Yesterday, I had a myriad of tasks to perform for the house that I just couldn’t even contemplate. I went to Pilates and afterwards dragged my foot to the couch and…

Kids – whatyagonnado?

I went by to see the pool being dug at L&M’s and to see the J-man because they kept him home so he could watch the excavation and the big digging equipment. He answered the door with a bike helmet on and said he was wearing it all day because he hit his head on the couch. Meanwhile, Abby was being her own sweet self. Later S came by to see what Delta had done…

What makes a place unique

I went to lunch with TL and G at Parkway today and had a catfish dressed on a bun, some Crawtators, and a banana Hubig pie. Wow, does it get any better than this? We then drove over to Park Island to see the ashtray house as I learned that Nagin lives in it. We were all impressed by the fact that our mayor lives in a glass house. But most impressive are the decorative…

LaLa Productions

So I’ve decided to take this PR stint into my own hands and am going to purchase a CVS disposable camcorder. We’re going to do the first vignette at the LaLa, another canoeing around Park Island with shots of the ashtray house, then on TL’s boat watching him catch a fish, bicycling through City Park, Friday night at Swirl, walking down Ursuilline.

The Campaign for New Orleans

When I first got back from evacuation I called J, whose father started one of the largest advertising agencies in the city and told him I wantd to talk to him about an idea I have. We set up a lunch but that day he had a ton of fires to put out and had to suddenly go to Baton Rouge and one thing led to another and we weren’t able to hook up. My…
