The Saints & Sinners Literary Festival is this weekend. I got a day pass for Saturday and will be checking out the poetry readings at the Bourbon Pub. There is a Toy Art Show on Saturday night at 4537 N. Robertson @ 7PM. Tin’s nanny is curating it and it promises to be worth a peek. There is a photography show at HomeSpace, 1128 St. Roch, starting at 6PM. Worth a stop. I’m sure there…
Ran into a neighbor at the grocery who says they did not clean their house after Jazz Fest because they can’t bear to think that it is over. A man came over and said he knew me, said he delivered bread to Ugelsich’s and other restaurants for three decades. Leidenheimer of course. He said that Ugelsich is going to open a restaurant again but this time no sandwiches, just plate lunches. The alligator gar in…
It’s just a fact that I cannot sit on the front porch without having a lot of stop bys. So last night when a friend was in from California and arrived, there were two friends/neighbors on the porch and another walking up. So I saddled my friend up with Tin and we fled to the Napoleon House where we could get a muffaleta and some quiet time. You can’t catch up in a mere couple…
When I think of my mom growing up I always think “glamour” – and Tatjana always called my mom a “stylish dog” – she had these lounge outfits that were out there, bold colors and designs. As I told someone, she was the mother who saw her daughter to the school bus in kitten heels and a boa. So I know I get my sense of style from her. A little daring and a lot…
So since I’m about to go to sleep having written my last entry being about the funk we are all in and I was about to close down shop – I brilliantly remembered a new episode of Louise Log that I hadn’t seen yet because I couldn’t get it to come up when I first got the notice due to wireless issues. I’m so tired but I clicked on it and wala – Louise saves…
I am in that mode where I want to run to the moon and I think a lot of others are in the same shape. A friend/neighbor stopped by today and said that she was in a funk and she can’t figure out how to get out of it. Another friend/neighbor stopped in to say that she is living too much in her head and can’t seem to feel fun and whacky. I watched a…
My colleague and I met for the morning to talk about business and then we had lunch and late in the afternoon we watched, How Do You Know with Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rund. A therapist in the movie says the end all be all of what he’s learned from his clients is that you need to know what you want and be able to ask for it. It took me 48 years to do…
I have suffered from anomia for as long as I can remember – I’ll be introduced to someone and either I give them a name and never accept theirs or I cannot make the name I learn stick, even for a minute. This happens often and it would be embarrassing except that I immediately just warn people I can’t remember your name. A word for someone who never laughs is (agelast) and a word for…
