A rainbow for you!
This morning I took the Bean out in the pitch dark of morning to walk around the bayou. We made our circle near General Beauregard’s statue and were headed back when the sky broke into this scarlet gauzy red. Awestruck, we crossed the Friendship bridge and as we were making our way back to the Can, a rainbow peaked out from behind the clouds and suddenly grew more intensely visible and wider stretching all the way from the Can to Old Metairie – hey, I thought, with a lift in my step, the pot of gold is right there at the Can.
When I got to the apartment there was no sign of leprochauns or gold or anything – just the ordinary magic that makes life so wonderful – a nice cup of tea, a dog to lick my ankles, and smoked salmon on an H&H bagel reading the Wall Street Journal. Four missives – two from my gal colleagues congratulating me on GYI call, two from salesmen congratulating me.
