Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
A while back, I posted a picture that was supposed to contain a giraffe and I get the feeling y’all might think I was pulling your collective legs, either that or I simply needed to be committed. This afternoon the fates were on my side because not only did my […]
When we are on our way downtown or to the grocery store, there are many different roads we can take, but if John is driving, it’s almost a given we’ll go down what we call the “tree road.” Stop by sometime and wave hello to the grand oak growing its […]
As you might already know, I just love the spooky, unsettling aura that an abandoned property can convey. Something about the broken windows staring down into the street and climbing vines slowly eating away at the wooden siding evokes a sense of mystery and even horror. Who lived in this […]
When I think about football, which is a rare occurrence in itself, there is only one positive association. It’s early Thanksgiving morning, the scent of Italian sausage and boiling giblets is in the air as my mom prepared the stuffing for the evening feast. Otherwise, football for me was always […]

One of the biggest surprises I encountered while working downtown was the inability to find a great doughnut shop. Isn’t there a corporate law somewhere stating that doughnuts are mandatory for good employee morale and longevity? Admittedly, I was certainly not one to turn down a slice of doberge cake […]
While I was in California visiting my crazy, beautiful family, I over-indulged on the local food knowing I wouldn’t get another chance at it for a while. I decided not to cheat this past week because my extravagant dining behavior cost me a weight gain of five pounds, but it […]
