Good to know. I live not far from there. Maybe I'll go over Monday.

Calvin Duncan posted about that on his Instagram story.

Makes sense. When I lived in LGD, Mojo was my usual spot. There's also HiVolt around there. They have good food options too.

We're at Blues and BBQ and this is perfect.

We drove through the CBD to the Lower Garden earlier today and it seemed pretty busy. The streetcars we saw were packed too.

Never mind that you can spell Cajun.

Hanging with Ben Franklin and Tab Benoit. This weather is glorious.

The state definitely has a DOGE type initiative.
I got an email with a bunch of rules about how to reduce printing. The rules were in an attachment. The attachment was a PDF that had been created from a printed document that was scanned. 🙄
Which is a crappy way to make a PDF anyway

This looks fun and apparently there's going to be a Family Fued type game between Zee's and Reginelli's. My kid is on the Zee's team.

Back in the day, Baton Rouge had a bar connected to a Waffle House. It was glorious. RIP, Port Royal.

Wow. I hope things stay OK for you and that another opportunity presents itself should you be inclined to make a move.

For some reason I just remembered when I got highlights for the first time after meeting husband. He said "Your hair looks really good. It's like a nice wood grain."

Yes. My kids graduated from high school in the 2010s. It was most definitely a problem then.

Oh, I saw that happen at an outdoor beer festival years ago. It's one thing to do that to one or two chairs if you get up. But a whole table? At an event where people are wandering around? Absolutely not.

Especially a red one! They're very shiny. 🤦‍♀️

Someone rear ended the streetcar on St. Claude. This is why we can't have nice things.
