I was speaking to this guy today who was just one of those people you instantly connect with and we were quickly trading life stories and it turns out his father was 50 when he had him. And he said having older parents was great, although his dad died when he was 17 years old. I showed him photos of Tin and he said he would teach T how to blow dry my hair if…
I have all these old documents I need to shred and don’t have a shredder. Then I get an email from a friend in California who is hosting a shredding party at her office. So what I say to the business community on the bayou is after Jazz Fest, hold an after tax shredding party and you will get business. Me, for starters! !
The Polish president who died was notoriously and violently anti-gay. And so is his twin who is now running for his office. Time for a cool change…
I couldn’t figure out why the lines were so long at the airport this morning then I remembered, Monday after Jazz Fest. Standing in line to board the plane this morning, the woman in front of me reeked of alcohol and couldn’t find her boarding pass. The woman in back of me was still wearing her LL Bean rubber boots coated with Jazz Fest mud. The guy standing off to the side was wearing a…
Last Friday, the first day of Jazz Fest, the Weather Channel said 30% chance of showers moving to a 60% chance in the evening with severe thunderstorms expected on Saturday and an 80% chance of rain. Before I stepped outside the birds were screaming as if someone was pulling their feathers off one at a time. Heidi, who is skittish with storms, didn’t want to leave the house and kept trying to run in someone…
I traveled to Houston and then to San Francisco today and overheard a thousand and one conversations. There were two conversations I kept overhearing – one was the young parents jockeying multiple toddlers and infants and the other was the older parents talking about their children’s post college plans. You know how people are, and I’m no different, you look at the world and try to find your place in it and of course, as…
I was born in the sign of water And it’s there that I feel my best The albatross and the whales they are my brothers…
The after party was at Swirl last night after the Fest; we walked through the Liuzza crowd, and then passed the Boombox DJ on the truck and headed down Ponce de Leon to hear Johnny J playing surf guitar. Fabulous, nothing like dancing to Wipe Out with your son in a pack. There was a clown doing balloons for the kids. At one point, a friend ordered a Pinot Noir and said, she needed change…
I was looking at the crafts to see if I could spot something for Tatjana’s birthday, which isn’t until October. And I thought I found something, but when she came to the Fest late yesterday, she was taken by the birds, which I had loved but didn’t think she would love. So today when I went back to the Fest, I went over to get her a bird and I had friends help decide on…
The Sunday of Tin’s first Jazz Fest was magically splendid. The day started off gorgeous and continued to be stunningly perfect all day long. We started by going over to a friend’s for a Jazz Fest brunch and Tin just wanted to go in that pool so bad, even though the water was ice cold, so in we went: Then we made our way into the Fairgrounds and over to a friend’s camp near the…
