Rolling Fast
Celebrities are beginning a rolling fast to bring the troops home. Susan Sarandon, Willie Nelson, Rev Al Sharpton.
I’m starting my rolling fast to end the madness of remodelling a house in post-Katrina times. The electrician used aluminum instead of copper wire. Kim, the second contractor, had sheetrockers who neglected to put in insulation before rocking the house. The deck in back is having to be pulled up because Juan didn’t use the correct board or finishes. The new three windows will cost $10,000.
There is a woman here, of Turkish descent, she is opening a restaurant in the place where Gabrielle’s used to be. At one point, my friend P used to be in business with her partners, family, or whoever they are. She has opened many restaurants – all mediocre – she plans to open more than this one. How can this woman open so many mediocre restaurants in a city that has great food? How can she thrive offering less than?
The mullets were jumping up and down this morning in the bayou – what are they so happy about?
