I could never get used to excessive Christmas present mornings – it just isn’t in my cards, but I could very well get used to this week between Christmas and New Years, where you have not quite finished nor quite begun. I started with a quick dog walk around the bayou, not our usual long one through the park because I wanted to get to an earlier yoga class, which was divine.<\/p>\n
T and I went to the Quarter after to see an exhibit by Michael Pajon<\/a>. I found his card on the ground in City Park one morning and he has intrigued me ever since. Two things compelled me to his exhibit – it was part of Prospect 1.5 and it was in the Madame John’s Legacy<\/a> museum on Dumaine Street in the Quarter. He does very interesting collage that I like. The rest of the exhibits were from recently transplanted artists who have come to New Orleans post-Katrina. The building itself was fabulous and part of an architecture now lost to the Quarter, so it is a fine specimen that remains.<\/p>\n We had stopped first at the Golden Lantern for a bloody mary and then after went to Italian Barrel for a delicious lunch. T had her Parma panini and I had pappardelle and porcini. Yum.<\/p>\n It’s in the upper sixties here today and might even have reached the 70’s with a humid air that is thick but pleasant.<\/p>\n What a lovely way to spend the afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I could never get used to excessive Christmas present mornings – it just isn’t in my cards, but I could very well get used to this week between Christmas and New Years, where you have not quite finished nor quite begun.
