All the news that is not fit to print
Newsflash: drunk 30 year old father accidentally drops his two year old daughter into crawfish boil – this is front page Times Picayune – and why I miss the daily local paper.
Nationwide: Treme is signed up for a second season because the reviews were so stellar after the first premiere (did anyone read the Bayou Report? 4 out of 10, people, u heard?)
Land of Tin: Yesterday, I walked downstairs and there before me was a child who looked like he had grown, aged, matured in a matter of hours since the last time I saw him. WTF?
Rachel World: Ran through the park this morning, have reached a plateau on weight loss even though I’ve had few glasses of wine, have turned down multiple invitations for fresh made daiquiris, new cocktails, and an afternoon glass of wine on the porch. Harumph!
LaLa Land: The rose bushes are bursting with buds and the grass is green in the backyard and the crepes are so leafed up and beautiful – the yard has returned to its magic, notwithstanding all that was lost to the multiple freezes from this past (fifth coldest) winter. Sad to report the Norfolk pines in my neighbor’s yard are all kaput.
Bayou report: The goddamn rooster is cock a doodle dooing right this minute. Note to self: call noise ordinance department. Those people need fowl obedience school!
