We returned today with friends to get dim sum at Panda King in Gretna. This was my third visit. The thing about dim sum is that being little dishes, you want to taste a little of everything. But once you have been once or twice, there are some dishes you simply MUST HAVE at each [...]
Today I did something so decadent, something so out of character, that I couldn’t help but relish it: I went to a coffee shop. Alone. To knit. For a whole hour before my appointment with a life insurance agent. Ahhhh. And as I was waxing philosophic in my moment, Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the [...]
I easily could have spent yesterday under the covers, having had daylight and my thoughts blocked out. But I had plans to visit family. So Sun and I spent the day in the country. Sun dipped her toes, and her hiney, in an icy pool and spent hours literally running around naked, humming, as I [...]
Today was a day of horse shit. Aggravating non-lawyer back-of-the-house horse shit. This afternoon, I spent with friends that unfortunately needed my legal services. We spent hours going through papers, making calls, developing options. When my friends left, the Missus hugged me. After a moment, I pulled away and she stayed hugging. I resumed my [...]

I’ve been appreciating my weekdays with Sun a whole lot more lately. I think it’s that she’s getting to an age, finally, where she’s [...]
Sun cried in the middle of the night. We called her to our bed and all three of us went back to sleep. A few hours later, I awoke with Sun in my arms. There was peace. And I thought, “what was that bothering me yesterday?” Then I remembered. And the obligation of guilt kicked [...]
Comic Con is in full swing in San Diego and we are in the middle of it! This year seems more crowded, with my favorite Exhibitor not here I left my laptop at home and am on CS’s, so pics are forthcoming. Tonight, though, was decadent. We went to a mod restaurant . One that’s [...]
Greta of Kiss My Gumbo extended an invitation to me and three other bloggers (and Chris Shultz extended the same invitation to several other NOLA bloggers) from folks at Ford who are part of the 100 Cities Tour promoting the 2010 Taurus. It was really great to meet other NOLA bloggers I hadn’t yet met [...]
