The weather outside is frightful
In New York that is – here in New Orleans it is a super duper beautiful day – the sun is shining, it’s in the sixties and headed to the seventies – and I’m headed to NY (why that is?). Meanwhile, I’m only gone a few days and then my girls from Nantucket are arriving on Friday and we have a fully loaded agenda of fun in NOLA planned. Saturday is the St. Patrick’s Day parade – we just had the St. Joseph’s Day parade this past Saturday where my neighbor was in preparation for three days that culminated in him adhering an Italian flag sticker to Blue’s bumper.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch – the girls are coming and we’re headed to see the parade with a stop at T’s for cocktails and bites, and then to the other T’s to watch. But now I learned that Sunday is SUPER SUNDAY where the Mardi Gras Indians parade with their new suits – and so Sunday’s plans have changed from Commander’s snooty brunch to down-home good-time parading Indians and a shrimp poboys, fried pickles and icy scooners of Abita beer afterwards at Liuzza’s on Bienville.
Why do people live anywhere else? I keep scratching my head about that one.

Why?…because there’s a place call the Island of Enchantment! besos

Si como no – la isla que encanta – the only exception.
