Fowl Play
I came home from Pilates and decided I needed to do extra time to get my girlish figure back, so I put my IPOD on and walked to the park and fast walked around the lagoon and then looped by the museum and back out to the bayou across Esplanade. There was fowl everywhere – swans, geese, ducks, herons, egrets. I had my IPOD on shuffle and the first song that started was Christina Aguillera’s Beautiful – how appropriate – and then Dave Alvin, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams and by the time I had looped back around the bayou, crossed back over Esplanade, and come across the Magnolia Bridge, Roy Orbison was singing Blue Bayou. How cool is that?
As I turned to go up my brick path to the LaLa, my neighbor – the psycho one – was sitting up on his porch with his daughter – I yelled up “HELLO THERE!” and with a big smile went inside. Always keep them guessing is my motto.
