So we go to Swirl and walk in and the usual crowd is there but more and you know, we are both in a heightened mood and ready to be out and about – and Moosey is fun and said he had had a great day too, and he has the hottest sidekicks going (I might add) and we hang out and G & I end up going to Rooster’s on Carrollton – that whole area is actually coming along quite well – there are three great Asian restaurants, Roosters (I had an oyster salad, which was good for a hamburger joint) and we heard a good Mexican restaurant is opening right down the street – and anyway, it’s amazing to me that in one evening in New Orleans we can meet new people (there are still new people to meet?) – all interesting.
M had left Swirl with K and we met up again at the restaurant – M and his family own a series of medical facilities and he told me someone is opening a private hospital on Carrollton, also he is Turkish so part of the Turkish contingency in our city, and so is K, who is just a doll. Moosey helped K get his restaurant going.
M said Turks are all into restaurants – funny, not Turkish restaurants though, which is odd.
Lots of fun – great conversation – and so good to get out and celebrate a day that was a long time coming.
