Woke up late this morning – 6:40 – and felt as if the day was already under way and I was late out the gate. So quickly got the dogs their breakfast and then got mine, remembering to sit down to eat it. Several people asked me last night how I was doing with Tatjana gone and I said, it’s unbearable. She makes me sit down to eat. I told my friend L that I…
Went to Swirl tonight – a Tuesday night – haven’t been in a while. We passed the time catching up with those who have broken up, those who are joining the MS 150 bike ride, and those who are just on the periphery of it all. When I got home, J called to say that she has it from a good source that the whole cast of the L-Word is in town this weekend for…
Ivette was standing on the bayou waiting for J to come out of the house and I walked out with Loca to say hi and admire the beautiful day. We smelled the roses as she told me this separation is a good time to “oler” – to take it all in, to digest all that has happened and to reflect and appreciate. The roses smelled good too. Meanwhile, two women were strolling by and one…
When I was walking this morning I was thinking of the reasons why I love Tatjana – yesterday, it was because in the midst of everyone having a breakdown, she made me laugh (and those around me too). J said, “I love her because she’s so funny – who knew?” But this morning, I was thinking about why I love her and what came first to me is her enthusiasm for life as well as…
Today is the first day of first quarter earning season and yes, it is up and running towards the bell time. Loca and I took a long walk this morning as we were out of bed by 5:22 sans T’s warm body lying beside me to keep me still. There was a chain of puffy grey-white clouds on the horizon making the bayou seem glassier than ever and all of the colors richer in hue.…
Swirl on WDSU – WDSU’s Dr. Corey Hebert liked Swirl’s red wine and health promotion so much for the CCC, he filmed his “6 on Call” segment at the shop and aired it last week. If you’re a regular at Swirl’s Tuesday events you might see yourself in the video!
Fellow Wine Shop Owner Needs Support Chris Rudge, owner of Bacchanal, and his wife Otter from the Backyard Ballroom were involved in a terrible car accident early morning March 31.

Many wonderful groups and individuals are coming together to help support Chris…
Ladybug! Ladybug! Fly away home. Your house is on fire. And your children all gone. All except one, And that’s little Ann, For she crept under The frying pan.
You know what’s odd – a friend basically told me to quit my simpering since I found a GREAT love and that should be sufficient enough to get through the next part – the undulating separation: 24 days till she returns, then 29 days till I go there, then 31 days till she comes home – he’s right, what do I have to complain about? I have met the love of my life and in…
