The Bean and I went for our first walk together in over a week – it was cool outside at 6AM and the bayou was gorgeous with the clouds reflecting in the water. We passed Boo who had dove in to chase a nutria with his mama yelling at him to get out. Then I went for a long bike ride that was fantastic – I mean it was other worldly – I rode back and forth along the lakefront with the sky blue water arms outstretched and a guy came by on his bike and we tried to high five as he put his arms out and he almost crashed into the side. We laughed. Lovely day really – a day where you feel like you are the luckiest person in the world to be you and to be where you are and to be doing what you are doing – how roaringly fantastic life can be sometimes. <\/p>\n
Back at the Can – I caught back up with G who was thinking of returning to Bacchanal for round two today – I bowed out. L is getting ready for a golf trip and was cleaning the house. T called to say she had heard the trumpets blowing hallelujah last night and I applauded her resourcefulness – we’ll see what develops for her there. S – serial kisser extraordinaire – rang from Chicago having been out till 4:30 in the morning – I told her I was up at 4:30 myself and was trying to stave off the work week. <\/p>\n
Went to the LaLa to try to figure out what to do there. I swept and then got in a little bit of a pickle and had to send an SOS to N. She came over with Renny and helped me unwedge the tub that I was trying to move myself. K rode by on her spiffy pink Bianchi bike and came in for a look see. And then the two of them were off to go find cap and gowns for the Monday graduation. Mom came and met me – we went to MOE’s to have lunch on the Avenue. It was a warm day but pleasant and we sat outside and had Belgium beer and sandwiches and she commented what a beautiful place the neighborhood is and I said – you too could live in a beautiful place too and not the slums of Metairie. But right now pricing is through the roof and so we have to wait. S & M walked by, they have a guest house down the street, and were on their way to a friend’s pool. <\/p>\n
The roller derby girls were having a fund raising car wash at Liuzza’s by the Track so after lunch, N and I took our cars to get washed – pretty good job I must say. N said she saw the photograph exhibit at NOMA and the LaLa house is in one of the photos. <\/p>\n
L, man of mystery, texted that he is in Atlanta and would catch up when he returned. I think G was headed back to Bacchanal and I saw C and K at MOEs getting sandwiches – C had presided over the wedding last night at Bacchanal – that was his first time there and he said he is definitely going back. It’s a wonderful place to spend lost time. G sent my cell # to T who was asking for it while we were sitting there yesterday. <\/p>\n
Another wonderful day in the Big Easy – I have an answer to S’s question – what do I have to offer? – ME! – in all my glory – irresistible me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
