Coffee Culture New Orleans update! Copyediting is done. Blurbs are submitted. Needs one more look over, and then it goes to the layout stage! The book will be released next summer. ☕
I was wondering too
With Arthur Hardy retiring, who is going to pick up the slack on printed glossy Mardi Gras guides? Nowhere else is so comprehensive, with histories, themes (where announced), number of floats and riders, etc etc. Just the routes doesn’t cut it.

Welp. Tried getting to the route but the traffic was a nightmare. It's currently beer-30 at Bulldog Mid City. ✌️ Gonna save my energy for the weekend.

Today is one year since my dad died. It's crazy how quickly time flies when you think of the person you lost every single day.

Guardant Health, a cancer screening company, donated $25k to James van Der Beek's GoFundMe. This is incredible.

"James was the first brand ambassador for Guardant Health and our Shield™ blood test for colorectal cancer screening, reflecting our shared belief in the power of patient voices.'

Also, can we stop throwing around the word "icon"? Okay, bye.

I feel bad about this Nancy Guthrie thing, but this level of media coverage is a little ridiculous.
